It's a light sandwhich and the little extra salt in the bacon seems to help.

Shouldn't be a problem for ya. After you get on the bike, just rearange it under your butt properly.
It's only held on in the front with an elastic strap that slips under the nose of the seat.
No need to remove the seat to put on or take off.
I thought it would slide around under me, but it doesn't move at all.
You can't even tell you're sitting on something, except you're not sweating.

+1 on the Academy compression shorts (underwear) I rode several hours Fri and noticed a big difference. Will buy a couple more pair tomorrow. About $10 The $29 UA brand may be a little better? I doubt theres $19 worth difference. It sure seems better than ridin with a warm wet cotton rag in your crotch for hours...lol

Glad You had a comfortable ride, wish I could say the same. My bike is comfortable, but I do get swamp ***. I have been thinking about getting the HD seat pad but have a question. On My ultra I slide my right leg across the seat while getting on the bike, have You encountered any problems doing this. I would like to know before I buy one.

I've got one of the sheepskin pads from alaska leathers http://www.alaskaleatheronline.com/s.../Buttpads/Page
works in any kind of weather, hot or cold....and helps give a few extra miles to boot. not saying its everybody's answer, but it might be worth a try.

I just picked up some Starter Dry Fit boxers (Compression Shorts) at Walmart this past weekend. Previously I have bought some at Marshall's for about the same price. SO much more comfortable when it is hot outside. Even if I am not riding and going to be outside a lot I put a pair on when it is hot. The bunching up and staying wet makes me crazy with regular cotton boxers.
