Default Passenger tailbone relief

Anyone have advice for passenger tailbone relief? OL constantly complains about pain after an hour. We are on a Mustang Wide touring seat. Bike is a softail standard. Maybe Airhawk R? Her comfort is really limiting any trips we take.

Better shocks, gel foam insert, take breaks more often.

Go to a local bike shows, theres always a mom and pop wrench, i found one, had them remove some foam where the tailbone would normally hit and changed the foam to a softer one...wife very happy..
It makes a difference when riding, first the tailbone problem now working on their freaking small bladders.....
Jeez a need a bitch that can stand on the bike more then 1 hour....

Not really my wife is a trouper....and a good twirker...

It might not be the seat but her anatomy.
Loss of blood flow causes pain, see a doctor to see if anything is wrong.

I'm a firm believer in the Airhawk cushions. Wife had back surgery a few years ago. After about an hour of riding, she was hurting and needing a break. Bought the Airhawks and she only asks to stop for bathroom breaks or she's hungry! Using them on an '11 Ultra stock seat.

A sheepskin cover may help.

My wife's butt was always hurting as well. I bought her a 2014 Limited. At least that was the reason I told her we needed it. LOL

Stop once an hour and massage it from the inside. Don't forget the KY, or she'll really bitch.
