This is what drives me wild on long trips. After a couple of hours the burn starts. (stock SG)

Any suggestions: Monkey Butt powder, highway pegs, man up, goldwing, boxer or briefs, stay home?

Every HD seat and aftermarket vinyl seat gave me monkey butt after 100 miles. Every leather seat I have tried didn't. Big difference I guess in the softness and cooling of the material.

Sheepskin covers and compression shorts work for me. Got rid of those two dime-size spots that always burn after about 45 minutes if riding. A little baby powder on the jewels goes a long way also.

Compression shorts will definitely help. I finally got to use my circulator seat pad this past weekend, worked like a charm. No sweaty azz after 250 sunny hot miles.

I did some experimenting with shorts. Compression shorts work the best for me...

of course i rode about 20 miles on the stock piece of **** seat and then changed it. once my C&C got broken in, it was awesome

I had my seat reworked by MCCC with double memory foam
and I ride with compression shorts on extended trips and the
others that ride with me can't figure out how I can just sit there
while they are up and shaking and wiggling whenever we hit
as much as a stop sign. I would tell them if they didn't try to give
me a little HD trash-talking......

Airhawk? Perhaps... I'm wondering if these can be covered like a seat and have a valve exposed so that you can put air in and out of them?

Get a sheepskin for your seat. I was skeptical at first but for over a month now, we have had temps in the high 90's and several days over 100. We rode yesterday, the temp was 102 but my seat was dry as a bone. No more damp butt and no more monkey but!!

Compression shorts with either a Circular seat pad or a sheep skin cover will stop the sweating.
My tail bone will still hurt on different rides. I'm not sure why some days it hurst and some days it doesn't.

I have been told the Monkey Butt Power works.

I just ordered a set of beads, one of my buddies got some a couple of months ago and syas it feels like there's a fan blowing on your backside. I've use Monkey Butt powder for hunting and it works well when your sitting in a tree stand all day, not sure if it would help with riding.
