My Urban most definitely had the ridge. I just had the saddle re-worked by Don Weber at Mr Eds Moto in Albany Oregon, a master custom seat craftsman. He was able to cut the seat foam and add some new softer top material as well as bud up the trough about 3/4 to 1" while still using the same cover. All for over $100 less than the Ducati Comfort saddle option. I've done about 60 miles on it so far and it is way better than stock.
