J & P Sells a seat pad, can't remember what it is called but it is made out of memory foam, and it has a cut out for your tailbone, I have somthing similar that I use at home, in the car, and some times when driving the school bus, I love it, got it last year when I was having an SI joint disfunction, still kind of have it but that cusion was the thing that saved me on the job.

My fat Azzz luv's the fat seat. Had it for three pain free years now. You will be surprised how just a little change now and then makes a difference. It does raise you up quit a bit if you fill it up. I start out full of air and release a little at a time on most runs over 150 miles.

I love mine. I can't believe they don't make one in leather for the late model bikes. I don't know that I would ever buy another vinyl seat for one of my bikes....

32" inseam

I'm looking to get one for my 09 Ultra. I was in a wreck last Sept. and it jammed my hip when some guy on a Ride burner crossed the line and slammed into me. I'm hoping this will help relieve the pain I get in my hip joint. Do the newer ones allow your feet to reach the ground ok? I'm 6'1" with a 32" inseam and I reach the ground fine right now.

I rode 1000 miles in 17 hours with my new RZ, no butt burn. Great seat, best I ever had! I've rode many of 800 miles days and suffered through many of hours of butt burn on stock seats. Yes its big seat, but once its been on for a couple of weeks, you get used to it.
I payed about 550.00 for the seat with the 20% discount and free ship.
