Some are going to laugh at this but I use beads on long trips for years, I tried a $140 gel pad this year and found the beads much better. I have had these for 3 years and they work. I only use them on long trips over 300 miles, they fold up pretty small to store. They cost me 15 bucks give them a try a million cabbies can't be wrong.

well i have had the mustang vintage with backrest, my but too big, the c&c solo and it was great for under 100 miles, now i have the mustang wide solo and optional pinion and so far i love it. I think it may be a tad wide for me but only have 50 miles so far. I take a 1400 mile trip next week and will know more. I am 6ft and 246lb.

I haven't had any problems with my stock seat. I've done 500 miles a day on it before. It's not perfect, but it's not so bad I'd buy a new seat.

Makes you wonder how people can ride horses. They have to get use to a hard saddle and no shocks. You would think a cowboy would have no problem riding all day, on the worst motorcycle seat.
