Default Ouch!

Not sure what's going on this year, but both my seats are killing my tailbone. I have the stock road glide seat and was given an ultra seat. Both are putting pressure on my tailbone that gets pretty painful.

I run a drivers backrest, and it is better with it on than off. Looking for ideas on what I can do. I didn't have issues last year, so I'm wondering if it me and not the seat.

My tailbone is actually not on the bottom of the seat but more so on the up sweep.

Send one of them to Mean City Cycles for a tailbone relief cut.

I had the same problem,
I tried the mean city mod and it did nothing for it

Finally bought a Corbin dual tour seat and now I can ride all day and my tail bone never hurts,the dual tour is hard and to be honest not the most comfortable seat but I can stay in it

If you look at the Corbin seat they have a option for the softer foam and I would suggest you get that,I did and it feels pretty hard to me​​​​​​I

Good luck

I ride Corbin saddles. They're firm but you don't sink into soft padding and get sore.

Had the same issue.....I found that the more butt time in the seat the comfortable it gets. I was looking at replacing the seat but not anymore, I can ride as long as I want now unless someone gotta go pee pee��
