Or possibly whatever jeans/trousers you're wearing. If they are already tight, then sitting down may just be a cause of your problem.

Its a simple enough fix, just need to relieve that pressure. Carve out the center of the seat. Look at some cycling saddles to get the idea.

Damn, all this time I thought that serving my country, working hard, and being a good husband made me man. And to think all I had to do was buy a bloated bike with more bells and whistles than Pee-Wee Hermans. Thanks for the tip McDave

Wow, didn't think this would have turned into a conversation about my junk being tucked under my ***, or a conversation about some guys need to compensate manhood with a bigger bike

I love the bike, no changing that. I come from sport bikes, and a GSXR1k never leaves my twigs and berries numb, so although I am a complete fatass, I assume it's position.

Has anyone tried the corbin Hollywood solo? I assumed it was the sides cutting off circulation, not my tailbone, but I guess that makes sense too. Guess no tiny solo seat pan for me

I just installed the saddle from a 48 on my 2011 Low. Super comfortable so far, but I wear these and no one knows I have them on. Wear them as you would underwear.

http://www.sugoi.com/usa/rc-pro-liner-3523.html . YMMV.

Funny thing is I put 7000 kms a year on my bicycles, haven't owned anything with 4 wheels for over a decade, and I don't wear padded shorts. All of my bicycles have leather Brooks saddles and I wear Icebreaker Merino wool underwear. No plastic between my rear end and my bicycle. I'm surprised padded shorts aren't more of a thing in the motorcycle world.

I'm thinking the leather sprung solo saddle from Harley just might be in my Sportsters's future.

You might also want to consider just getting your stock seat redone with a gel insert.
