i had a local auto upholstery shop custom fit my seat for me [ shave down sides and lower sitting area 3/4" ] and had a gel pad inserted

 

I just ordered a c+c seat they seem pretty nice and there customer service is outstanding mention hdf and get 10% off. I don't know if it is true but they say the gel pads hold heat ask Chuck at c+c good luck

 

I used to suffer badly on stock seat now with Mustang things are much better but that doesn't mean it will be perfect for you.

 

I agree...compression shorts/bicycle pants and a little anti Monkey butt powder work...........But add a seat Modified by Mean City and you will be able to do 700 miles easy...Try the cheap stuff first,then find a used Sundowner seat and hove Double Memory Foam installed.......Got one on my 06 SG.

 

I have a Corbin and wear compression shorts. On really long trips, I also add the Alaska Leather sheepskin buttpad. No monkey butt at all for me.

 

beadrider is excellent. long trips in hot weather proved it to me. also, although you might think it's not motcho, bicyclist shorts with some padding are unbelievable. check out the outfit from Pittsburgh.

 

Save yourself some cash, find some genuine long hair
sheepskin and make a butt pad. I have a complete seat
cover with a slit that fits over my back rest. I also made
two small butt pads out of left over pieces. Anti-Monkey
Butt Powder is good, try it.

Mean City Cycles are fantastic people to deal with.There customer service is top notch! They did a great job with my seat!!

 

No magic underwear here.But the mustang seat with backrest made a big difference. 500+ mile days no problem. Also raised the floorboards for the wife
