RE: Butt Hurts
I'm in the market for a new seat as well. \\; My Reach Seat on my Low Rider is fine for the first 70 miles, but then it's sheer torture until I stop for 5-10 minutes. Then I'm good to go another 50miles before I have to stop again. \\; Not sure if I should get one custom made or buy a mustang or sundowner or something else........or........have my current \\;seat re-done with gel and memory foam. \\; All I know is I just can go another season on the seat I have now.

[:-] \\;I waqs considering this for my first long haul on the bobber. \\; The only problem is that the bike needs more stops for gas than I need to pee. \\;
Sorry H.D. not the 50+ mpg that is stated in your pamphlet.
RE: Butt Hurts
I am in agreeance with LWOS, I put the reach seat on my FXDSE and it does good for about 100 miles, then thats it, the OL likes the 2up pad says it is comfortable for her, but what about me?

I put the Tall Boy on my 08 Street Bob worked great because of my long legs but after 50 miles my tail bone was killing me. I put on a Sundowner and forward controls...now I could ride forever!

RE: Butt Hurts
I'm just concerned that if I get a nice seat, I'll be too high when seated on it. \\; I bought the Low Rider, put on a \\; reach seat, bought progressive 430 shocks which \\;lowered \\;it 2", plus \\;had the front end lowered just so \\;when I \\;sat \\;on it, I'd have \\;both feet flat on the ground. \\; With my short inseam, I just dont have a lot of options if I want to safely ride. I dont want to go back to being on \\;my tip toes at stop signs or stop lights, trying to do a balancing act.
