got the fat ***!!! Just not around the tailbone!!!

+1 on the Mustang seat, bout died with tailbone pain on my way to Virginia Beach when I got home got rid of the Corbin seat and went with the Mustang and have spent many more long days in the saddle with no more pain.

I had the same problem. Went with Mustang Vintage wide with a backrest then also added the Alaskan Leather sheep skin pad. Now have a happy butt.

Thumbs up

Ride down to ROT absolutely KILLED me. Tailbone - could not sit in any position and be comfortable. There were not many vendors at ROT to help me with my issues (did find some interesting LEDs for the rear). Air Hawk was there,,, and I came that close.... but I remembered the links posted earlier and I thought about modifying the seat myself. But what to do for the ride home..... WalMart -- they have a solution for everything?? Well, I went to the automotive section and found a "gel" cushion seat for $20. Wife was skeptical and so was I but I needed something. Ride back was not near as painful. I am going to give this seat cushion some time. If it works, solution was only $20.

Try taking your wallet out of your back pocket. Works for me even driving for a long distance !!
