Default Gettin' squeezed ...
I've got about 2.5K on my new Road Glide Ultra so far, and the seat, while very comfortable at first, is starting to give me a bit of a problem.

The seat is slowly getting "broke in", which in this case is a little less firm, and as I slowly settle down into the seat, I'm finding that I'm getting, uh, "squeezed" (if you get my drift) to the point where getting a little uncomfortable.

Anybody else out there have this "issue"? What am I supposed to do; wear a jock while riding?

Go ahead with the wisecracks, I can take it ....

Nothing to laugh about. It is painful. All I can suggest is at the event you're at with some of the seat makers you see if they can rework the stock seat for you, or purchase an aftermarket one.

Hell, I don't stop. I just rearrange on the fly as needed.
