When riding your stock seat, regardless of year, what part of the
seat really bothers you and why.

1. Seat hurts on tailbone
2. Butt goes numb in less than 50 miles
3. Left side bum hurts more than right
4. Right side bum hurts more than left
5.sit to far forward.
6. Sit to far back
7. Works good for me

Please also add your height, weight and inseam

Thanks!

 

Rode mine from Kentucky to Pennsylvania with nothing more then the HD air seat pads, totally comfortable wife was also comfy, 6'2 270 32 inseam.

 

5'8". 225lbs. 29" inseam
My seat is ok, 2016 TG, flip seat over and it has low stamped on it, looked at another new TG, low stamped on seat pan, my 2016 ultra 2 wheeler, low stamped on it too...WTH?
Seat is not as comfortable as older ( 13 and back ) stock touring seats.
I'm thinking either a sundowner or hammock seat to replace it.

 

4' 7", 380 lbs, 22" inseam.

My feet don't reach the pegs.

 

6", 215 Lb, 34 inseam, the 2013 anniversary seat was terrible. Too hard, tail bone, left and right but pain, and at times could not feel the brothers. Changed to Road Zeppelin with the 2 rider, and 1 passenger adjustment. Now could not be happier.

 

I'm 5-10, 210 lbs, 31 inch inseam, sitting on a stock seat on a 2012 TriGlide. Riding a long distance usually pinches me bad in the front lower crotch area. Certain parts of my anatomy hurt until it goes numb. Then I have to stop and get off.

 

5' 5" tall, 29" inseam, 163#. I have ridden all day and sometimes find myself squirming around after awhile. my HD backrest has an adjustment I can use while riding and sometime a little adjustment will actually help relieve some **** discomfort. having said that, with the the necessity of fuel stops @ 150 miles I get to stretch which is also helpful. then again, being 69 yrs old; my scrawny/bony **** ain't what it use to be. so I choose #7.

 

5' 10" 240# I am very fortunate that I must have the same configuration butt as the seat designer for Harley. Ditto wife. Last year we did a 4500 mile run through the north-western states and not nary a cramp. This year it was 3000+ miles in Cal, Nev, Utah, and Az. We both have Harley adjustable back rests, footboard extensions, and large padded grips. No problem with riding comfort, or heat.

 

5'5", 28" inseam, 230#, stock '14 TG seat and Road Zeppelin, with or without sheepskin cover, both make me start squirming after less than 100 miles. Mostly due to pain on both hips and butt cheeks. In the summer heat it's worse when the sweaty butt factor kicks in.


This isn't new, been riding for 50 years and have spent thousands on seats, some are better than others. I've never found one I could ride tank to tank without pain.

 

I have a Mustang on my tri. Not happy with it. Simply too damn hard and it seems the build quality has tanked since Al S. sold the company several years ago. Otoh, their backrest kit is excellent.
