Default Seat question?
After about 1.5 -2 hours my *** start to hurt. It seems like I'm sitting right on the curved rear part of the seat. Do any seat companies have a different shape in that area. Which ones? Or do Ineed something custom. I'm 5'5" on a lowered 2012 Fb. see sig.

Thanks for any info.

If you can make it two hours before you *** starts to hurt you are doing pretty good at 2 hours i am beyond starting and having to stop for a rest for sure. There are plenty of more comfortable seats but its hard to find comfortable and still look sleek and stylish. The right seat is also very individual and sometimes the best option is to get a custom seat made.

Its actually my tail bone that starts to hurt. Every bump becomes torture. I would think you should be able go more then two hours on the highway. Stop and go is no problem.
