sore butt
I have an 09 Ultra Classic with a stock seat. I recently installed a rider backrest which realy helps my lower back. The one problem is after about an hour riding, my butt starts to get sore. I would like to know what options I have, gel pads? Sheepskin cover? different seat? What have you all done to help?

I bought a sheepskin pad from www.Alaskaleather.com and tried it out for the first time today. My first impression was that it'll help me a bit but I also have a Mustang seat, which by itself is pretty comfortable. I don't know if it alone will help your problem but if you should decide to try one, this company appears to make a good product.

Meancitycycles.com. had them rework my seat to lower it and installed memory foam. the best $100.00 ive spent. I actually rode there and watched them do the work. Great bunch of guys. I live 30 minutes from the shop. I definitely recommended them, especially before spending $300 to $400.00 on a new seat.

i dont own a road zepplin from harley but i did see one on a used bike on the showroom floor and if they were not so expensive i would have one cuz it looked like the most comfortable seat ever made, i wish i would have set on it, but i was scared that i would have broke out the old credit card and bought one if i had. i guess it has air pillows that blow up by pushing a button.

When you lean back on the rest all your weight goes to your ***. Same thing happened
when I had my Vulcan 1600. Its a trade off for being able to lean back, but you may be able to ride longer by removing the backrest for the 1st hour or so, then pop it back on for the return trip. My mustang pops in and out very easily. Good luck...

Tons of options out there. I personally went with Corbin as I've been riding them for years, and I'm very satisfied with how they work for "me"... If I were you however, I'd have Mean City rework your stock seat. I've heard nothing but great things about them. Another cheap option besides the sheepskin and gel, is the beads. There are tons of guys that have logged hundreds of thousands of miles on those little bead setups that just attach right over your stock seat. With the backrest, that might just answer the mail for ya... Good luck.
