unless your friend is either riding without padding or squishing the padding down completly the baseplate is a non issue, look at havign the seat re-worked to better fit him with a gel pack installed. i beleive theres a site sponser that does that sort of thing i cant remember which one it is right now but i am sure someone will pop in with that info shortly

 

I was just trying to determine if your friend had an older model Mustang seat that may have had a steel baseplate or not. And you never answered whether your friend feels like he is compressing the padding and sitting directly on the baseplate

Since I am unable to help you with the limited information you had supplied....try this instead:

Google---> prostate friendly motorcyle seat----> Enter!

You do the math....then check your spelling!

 

My doctor told me that in the spring time he sees a lot of bikers and farmers for prostate problems. It seems that after a winter break from bouncing on a tractor or motorcycle seat, your body's not used to it.

For those who are curious, prostate pain feels a lot like hitting a pothole when you really gotta pee, even when you don't, it's hard to describe.

My mustang seat has been one of the most prostate friendly seats I've tried. I would suggest a good pair of shocks as the jolts from bumps in the road can shake your innerds, causing problems.

 

What NSC said. Seems like the best answer in the thread....mainly because that's what I was thinking when I started reading this thread.
BTW, NSC...sorry to hear about your scoot. Any updates, or is it still in the system?

 

That was what originally came to mind when I read his post. I myself would prefer a seat worked this way. I would rather have a seat that I get more support on the outer portion than the center.

 

That's good to hear, it confirms everything I have heard and learned about Mustang seats while comparing what is available for my Wide Glide. I have a Mustang seat on it's way right now. The Mustang Regal Duke seat looks closest to the original seat, only with more plush/comfortable padding. Especially when compared to all the other aftermarket seats available. That's why I could not imagine the seat pan being in issue for the OP's buddy.

Oh I am sorry i wasn't clear....this may be a stretch but I think my friend believes the battery (located directly under the seat) may be interacting with the metal baseplate of the Mustang seat and negatively affecting his junk-(prostate).

 

Maybe put some aluminum foil in his pants...?

 

Ha!

That explains why I had no idea what prostate pain felt like -- here in southeast Louisiana, there is no winter break from riding... (eat your heart out!)

 

that made me laugh out loud. Holy crap.
