One of the most regularly observed thing, or feedback, from those driving Harleys or other bikes completely is that sportsters are only audio for brief the town center area rotating. The 883 CC website is very well able to create fast and secure moves from crates, and while its speed may not be the 9th wonder of the Community, it has a lot of low-RPM twisting.

 

Whoa! Huh?

 

I have had this bike for 10 months and have put 14,000 miles on it so far just riding the weekends. I think I am going to try for a little more comfort as I don't know if my butt is going to get in shape.

I did order some of the beads, so I guess I will give them a shot as well.

The compression shorts - like the bicycle shorts? How does this help?

 

I've ridden cross country a few times and nothing is better than an Air Hawk seat cushion. Your butt never actually touches the seat below as you are literally elevated by thin layer of air in the bladder. No pressure points, no pain. It's that simple. I have a Badlander seat for my Road King and after a couple of hours, without the Air Hawk, the butt hurts. I can all do without a problem with the Air Hawk.

 

It doesn't matter if you have a stock saddle or one of the custom built saddles, they all need help for really long rides.

I use lambs wool over a stock seat and then a thin (old airline blanket) folded up on top. With that combination, exhaustion will force me to stop before a sore butt does.

Also, get compression shorts and ditch the regular underwear. This change alone is a huge difference.

Start riding long Sunday rides and experiment with what works for you. If you are riding 300-350 miles on a Sunday and still comfortable, you will be comfortable on the really long runs or the multi-day runs.

 

Mustang seat, rider backrest and dry fit underwear did the trick for me.

 

Try out the AirHawk or any of its other products, mixed with a sheepskin over top. I haven't taken this out for a personal test ride but I sat on a test at Rolling Thunder this year and I put in my order for a set for me and my fiance.

I'm taking a trip up to Laconia, NH from North Carolina in about a week. I'll let you know how they work!!

Thanks . TD let me know how the ride goes.

 

I've found that moving my feet around stops the monkey butt. I have a superglide with mid controls and the fwd pegs. On the highway I usually move my feet to the back pegs then, if the wind is OK, to the front then mid and alternate one fwd one aft...etc. For me it really works and I have no trouble going tank to tank all day.
