RE: sore arss
I also haven't ridden in about 20 years. The first couple times out, I found my rear hurt as did my inner thighs. When I learned to relax again, all that went away.I also took my wallet out of my rear pocket. Rode over 175 miles to get coffee the other day and not one bit of discomfort. I may add some memory foam down the line tho.
Some guys find it bragging rights regarding how much they spend to "modify" their scoots. I cannot see spending money on heated seats, air pocket seats, etc. The b*tch about heat from the engine, then spend $1000 to warm their a$$. I'll spend my money on gas and beer. This way the extra "foam" on my *** will keep me warm and comfy as I ride.

RE: sore arss
Well, seats are a very personal thing. If we were all shaped the same then designing a comfortable saddle would be a no brainer for the manufacture. Some folks will be very happy with the stock seat. Unfortuantely, I'm not in that catagory, but at least it nice to know we've all got plenty of options to make things better.

175 miles is not a good test on a seat. Do 400+ in a day, then you'll know if the seat is comfortable for you. But don't wait to do that on a 2000 mile trip. If you scoot relatively short distances, the stock seat may be fine for almost anyone, but if you TOUR on the bike, more people than not find the stock seat lacking.

You should definately try Allen of mean City Cycles. I just got the memory foam mod done and its great! On my other bikes I had mustang seats and they cost about $600 and were not any better IMO than this mod which only cost $175 and Allen customized it for my specific fit. Can't go wrong.

RE: sore arss
Wow - I could've writtrn the opening post. My as* is still sore from the weekend ride. I'm waiting for the Dover run here in Ontario. Last year I'm told there was a saddle guy there that worked on your seat while you waited.
