I have a 2009 Deluxe I recently purchased and after about 3 hours of riding it starts to hurt my tail bone. I'm looking for suggestions on a new seat.

Had these guys customize my Deluxe seat. They use "Millennium" memory foam. I can ride all day now.

The deluxe seat looks great but I had the same problem and I added a tallboy seat and it allows you to move around a bit and has a lot more padding for the driver and passenger. I am 5'8" and have no problem with the 2" seat height increase. http://www.latus-harley-davidson.com...uxe-Models.htm

 

I bought a Mustang solo with the backrest, which worked out just fine! Back support of some type is required when riding with your feet forward.

 

Off with that uncomfortable Deluxe seat built for those under 5-7. I am putting on a LePera Maverick Daddy Long Legs seat this week. Good riddance to that stock seat. SJ Ron

 

Can anyone comment on either a new gel seat or getting a gel insert into your existing seat?

 

+1 on that. I also bought the Mustang solo seat with backrest for my Deluxe. Looks great and feels great. I can ride all day and the backrest is fantastic

 

Me too . Wide solo w/backrest . This a huge improvement over stock . Though the stock seat sure looks good, love the rail . Looking cool is important but so is comfort .

 

I feel your pain too Dude, literally! After a few hours on my bike my tailbone is killing me. I put the Shotgun shock on and that helped some with me being able to move the set up of the bike around and change the rebound. My problem is 1, I love the Deluxe seat and I was lucky enough to find a back rest made by Harley specifically for the Deluxe seat and 2, I am trying to keep my entire bike either Harley or Screaming Eagle. My suspension system is about the only things on my bike that are not Harley. I do have to address this issue over the winter though. I hope to get a few tips and recommendations from this site and this thread. If I do have to send my seat out to get reworked can they put the stock seat cover back on it after they rework it? I want it to look stock when completed. Is it foam or the gel that is the best way to go. I am 5'11" 230.
