Most comfortable seat for touring?
I had gel pads installed in my 13 limited stock seat and my tailbone still hurts bad after 50 miles. I guess I'm too heavy at 300 lbs and 6'6". Anyone found a cure for this problem? I don't care what the seat looks like I am more concerned with comfort. All suggestions are appreciated.

2nd Russell Day Long. I love mine. I'm 245 lbs and have tried Corbins and Mustangs and for me the Day Long has been the most comfortable seat.

OP, if the rest of the seat is comfortable and its just your tail bone. There is guy in Wylie, Tx. that will notch it for your tail bone and cover with a layer of memory foam. I had a Royal Star Tour Deluxe oem seat I could do maybe 30 min. on and afterwards it was at least a 5 hour seat. I've used him twice and both times he did very good work for $45 dollars.

Supper nice guy.

Every *** has a different comfort level....I had a Mustang wide tour on the current bike and put like 70000 miles on it...thought it was the best seat until I put a Sundowner on it. I am sure there is a better seat out there but I can't play high dollar musical chair with a seat....my 700 miles days are a thing of the past now....I might try a Saddlemen someday... I like the road sofa look.
