Default C&c seat

I purchased a c&c fastback off ebay and when it arrived it appeared to be flat and stiff. I finally was able to get it out for a try and after 40 miles my a$$ starting to get numb. My question is is it the model or maybe because it been so long since i last rode? I have a 08 fxstc. Plus the old lady isnt to impressed with it (passenger area is to small) any advice in what to do. Thanks

The passenger seat on the Fastback isn't really designed for longer rides. Their site says for "around town" which tells me bar hoppin' at best.

I've got the Fastback on my Fatboy and its really comfortable. Also have the solo seat. Both are leather and I find the solo is a little stiffer for me. After about two weeks of riding, the Fastback was completely broken in and really soft. I actually prefer it to the solo.

The warden hasn't complained about her section of it, although she's on it for shorter rides.

Why not call Chuck at C&C to get his take. He's very helpful
