I have a mustang seat. It is head and shoulders above the stock seat. Since I've had it comfort hasn't been an issue whatsoever.

 

I have a Corbin solo seat. I throw a bead rider over that with a hand towel under it and its good for all day riding. Did an Iron Butt ride with that combination. Worked out great.

 

I'm going to try the 'circulator' pad on my next trip. Haven't heard too many negative things about it, and it's a LOT cheaper than a 'skin. If I have to go with a SS later on, I won't feel too bad about the few bucks I spent on the pad.

 

AND, I think the 'mountain man' look is kinda cool, no pun intended, provided it doesn't look TOO sloppy.

 

Used the H-D Circulator Pad last year in Vegas (100+) and it really worked for me - no monkey butt!

 

LDcomfort underwear.. The iron butt guys use this stuff as a default...good enough for them, good enough for me.

 

I am taking a small 500 mile ride to Myrtle Beach from Florida in May. I know it's not a cross country trip but it's something. I just ordered a full pelt from Alaska Leather Sheepskin. All I have heard is they are very good. Time will tell, I will post a report when I return.

Be safe JIM

 

I use a sheepskin , i got mine from Misty Mountain.... they were at Myrtle Beach a few years ago...The HD circulator pad is very nice...i will be getting one.
Good compression underwear hepls, like UA or LD COmfort...they don't have the seem and prevent skin shear that keeps the blood from circulating.

 

I used to ride on a Corbin seat, with a sheepskin pad, and LDComfort type shorts under my jeans. That was a pretty good combination and could get me though back to back days of 10 - 12 hours on the bike.

But it still wasn't Nirvana. I then purchased a Russell Day Long seat. Best upgrade I've done on the bike. I don't need the sheepskin any more, and can usually do without the shorts, except when I'm out for weeks at a time.

 

anyone have feedback using the air Hawk seat ? its quite costly though...
