Default 200 miles on my c&c

I must say I was more comfortable on my stock deluxe seat as far as my *** goes.lol but the c&c def gives me more leg room.Rider backrest was also a bit low really didn't do anything for me.I am a little bumbed out because this seat wasn't cheap.I found myself figgiting all day to get comfortable.also behind my legs under my butt were sore as hell.

I've got over 4000 miles on my c&c seat and its still stiff and sore on your a$$. I guess the saying, " You can either have comfort or you can have style" is accurate in this case...

Ur stock Lux seat is close to my stock Heritage seat,

I just got back from a 6 day 1800 mile ride, about 1/2 of them on scenic twisty type roads.
So we rode 8-10 hrs a day, taking a break about every 2 hrs and No BACK REST..

At 62 and having a shattered Vertebrae (L3) I can say with 2 Aleve in the morning and I was good to go.. NO back or butt pain at all..

I've said before and again I'll say the stock Heritage seat is the best seat I've had on any of the bikes I've owned. I wouldn't even think about replacing it cept with another stock seat. It fits my big ole butt just fine.

I put 800 miles in the seat this last weekend going to the Arkansas Bike Rally (Blues Bike BBQ). Used the Air Hawk Seat Pad........best $$$$ I've spent so far. I throw it on for the long haul, take it off when I get there and back on for the ride home. Anytime I know I'm going to ride 150+ miles I put it on the seat. I found it on the web last spring for $69.00. Easier than trying to figure out which seat is the best......everyone's butt is different so all the seats will fit differently anyway.

I just replaced the stock Deluxe seat with a Maverick Daddy Long Legs (Le Pera) and the Long Legs is much more comfortable and I can finally stretch out and quit feeling like I am sitting on the tank. Big improvement! SJ Ron

30 miles on my C and C and my butt is numb. I really dislike this seat, but for the money I paid I'm gonna use it until I can't take it anymore....which means when I save up to try another seat.

The seat or your ***?

My C&C seat is tolerably comfortable - can do 500 mile days without too much discomfort.
