Default Hold on!

Anyone else out there using the HD spring seat with apes? I can barley hold on when going highway speeds and is making it uncomfortable on longer rides.
Am I the only one feeling this, the seat is like a slide with no stop to hold my **** in place.

I love the seat but threw on the stock one and it is so much easier to ride!
