Default The OL clocks 5 hours

Took the better half out last weekend for our first 2up ride. Started out in a parking lot and I soon knew we were ready to head out. We did a short run and she fell in love with the ride.
HOWEVER... as the stock Deluxe comes with a leather covered chunk of 2x4, her azz was rather on the sore side. I thought she was going to pack it in.
But today (Canada Day) we took off for a five hour tour and she hung in all the way. A few stops were in order to relieve the discomfort, but she made it.
My OL is a hard azz biker.
I gotta swap that seat ASAP!

I'd keep the hard seat... maybe then you can get her off yours and on her own... win... win...

Well, I have the heritage classic, and I have been using a mustang seat, once it's borken in, (a few hours maybe 6 hours) its way better than my stock seat... I mainly got it for my girlfriend also...
