What is the best seat to alleviate this problem.&nbsp\\; 1200C.&nbsp\\; I am 6 feet 260 pounds.&nbsp\\; Starts hurting after about 75 miles.[:@]

 

I hurt my coccyx some years ago so you have my sympathy. I found a Mustang solo great on my Fatboy if that's any help.

 

I am six feet and 250 lbs.&nbsp\\;
&nbsp\\;
I have a Sundowner (I think) and it is a lot better than stock, but tailbone still hurt.&nbsp\\; I tried a gel pad\\; it helped, but tailbone still hurt.&nbsp\\;&nbsp\\;
&nbsp\\;
I upgraded to Progressive shocks in the rear (412's, heavy duty), and that has by and large fixed the tailbone problem.&nbsp\\; I still get stiff, and have to stretch it out after an hour or two, though.&nbsp\\;
&nbsp\\;
I would start with the suspension upgrade, and then proceed to seat replacement if necessary.&nbsp\\; Surprisingly, the shocks @ about $300 a pair cost less than some seats, and are not difficult to install.
&nbsp\\;
I have heard that Mustang seats are good, but don't have personal experience with them

 

+1 on the Sundowner.&nbsp\\; It is a comfortable seat.&nbsp\\; Other guys mentioned the Mustang and Corbin.&nbsp\\;&nbsp\\; I had back surgey several years ago. I had a disk removed, in the lumbar section.&nbsp\\;

 

+1 on the shock upgrade and the sundowner seat. Thats all you can do, basically.

 

Or buy a Fatboy!
I've never had a problem with Harley suspension but Progressive shocks are fantastic on my Rocket 111 which comes with truly spine shattering standard suspension.

 

take a look at the jeans you wear, is there a belt loop in the back that is right in the middle on your spine? sometimes on some seats this tiny little belt loop can press against your spine and cuase a lot of problems.

 

I have the same issue with my Sporty. I think I am going with the Sundowner.

I agree with the shock upgrade idea.&nbsp\\;&nbsp\\; I seems expensine but Sport shock spring preload is inadequate (HD must want you to get pissed and buy a dresser) and I have same problem after 30 miles!&nbsp\\;&nbsp\\; Love riding my XL but, on long rides I go with the FLSTC.
