Monkey Butt
Im generally new to the HD scene,but ive ridden dirtbikes and quads for a many years..I know I cant compare the 2..But when my **** gets raw from the pounding of dirtbikes,I can just stand up on my pegs and get back to camp..Cant say the same about the H.D..I did a couple 3 rides this holiday weekend,and after the 2nd ride my **** was sore..And the 3rd ride i was even worse,and what i mean by long ride I put about 500 miles total,,(its alot to me)..But is this just something I have to get used to,or should I invest in a custom seat??

I may be in the minority here but I've never had anything but a stock seat on the last two bikes. No matter if I've ridden 50 miles or 500...I've never had any discomfort or rump rash, that's been connected to riding.

Maybe time for a new seat. I have the Mustang Wide Touring on my WG. Night and day from the OEM seat. My butt feels like it's floating on air.
Seats are pricey, but maybe you could score a used one for cheap.

Before you go for a longer ride, sprinkle talcum powder in your undies and/or on your backside. It really does make a difference

You will get used to it the more you ride. Powder and compression underwear also helps I hear, I have enough compression in my Fruit of the Looms as it is. I also have a Corbin leather seat on my main bike and love it after it got broke in.

Seat helps, but the key for me is air circulation and staying dry. Once the moisture sets in you're going to be miserable. That's a big reason I prefer riding in cooler weather. I tried an Airhawk pad, didn't help. I'm going to try the mesh style seat cover, maybe a sheep skin wool cover. Powder helps. A lot!
A lot of dealers have a loan a seat program. You get a demo seat (covered with the word demo) to try before you buy. That may be an option for you.
