Road Zepplin Seat and Tail Bone Issues.

Not sure what you want opinions about but see if this helps. All of the seats I have gone through trying to get rid of the tailbone problem didn't work until I went to the Road Zepplin seat now if I start getting Monkey Butt I just adjust one or both of the air bladders and it goes away.
Best seat for me.

Seats are every important especially when aces and pains start accruing, Back in 2010 on my first Goldwing i was having some serious hip and back pains all from there stock seat rode up to Untimate seats in Daytona a seat manufacture in the area they installed a demo seat i rode with the demo for 2 days love it so much i ordered one for myself. Best seat and upgrade i ever did could ride forever on that seat never wanted to stop but i hand to fuel up rode 70,000 plus miles on the that bike.

For what bike? Seats are a very individual thing. What works for me, mat not for you.
I bought a used road zeppelin for my 15 limited. It didn't do much for me. I kept my 2 Harley Hammocks and resold the Zeppelin. If I buy another seat it will be a Russel Day Long. Till then the Hammocks work pretty good for me.

I struggled with bad, bad tailbone and sit bone pain when on the bike, and what helped me the most was a bar change. I put apes on that are tilted up and it moves my sitting position so the pressure points aren’t right on those areas. This with a mustang seat with a riders backrest did the trick for me.
I will say you need at least a 33” inseam to flatfoot with this seat. (I am a 32)
Good luck with your fix, I know what a pain in the *** (pun intended) this can be.

I have a buddy who brags how expensive his Zepplin seat is...seems to mention it every ride. But have to say, he's always the one peeling himself off the bike in pain at each stop. Can't ride more then 50 miles at a pop w/ him.
I know its a good seat, but it doesn't work well for him.
Anyway, check out the Propad as at least a temp solution. Note bullet point #4 in the list "Cutout in polymer insert reduces pressure on the tailbone"
The mesh alleviates the monkey butt too. I was amazed how comfortable it is. The monkey butt thing....can be so painful.

I had a RZ seat on my Road Glide '08 and '12. I have a 30" inseam and found myself a little short in the leg area. I installed a 1" lowering block and that helped a lot. On the hiway I kept it aired up. When I was in town I just let a little air out and all was well. For whatever reason it was not a good fit on my '15 CVO. After several seats I settled on a Corbin. I really wish the RZ had worked out.
