Seats are a tough fit, luck for me we have a guy here in Colorado that modifies them - some people have had luck with Mean Streets, but personally, not sure how one can truly modify a seat without seeing you sitting on the bike and making several adjustments until its just right

You can always buy an Airhawk and it will cure your tailbone issues... you would want the medium cruiser model. Works wonders for tailbone issues! Both my Roadking seats killed my tailbone. The stock seat on my 2012 Ultra Limited does not, but the Roadkings did. The Airhawk fixed it for me on those bikes.

I am really appreciating all the feedback, this will help me feel better about pulling the trigger on a touring bike and know that I will be able to get comfy w/ little or no tail bone pain! Keep it coming guys! Glad I joined this forum.

I had the same issue with my 13 RKC, added a riders back adjustable backrest and it helped some, then changed the stock seat to a Sundowner, problem solved. It has more of a pocket where the tail bone is.

He is an artist!!!
I haven't yet had him do any of my seats, but I watched him sculpt a seat for a lady friend of mine that is all of 5 foot tall and 100 lbs for her 2015 Ultra LTD Low.
