Buy some Biker underware like LD Comfort. Kind of like bike shorts but will cause less butt burn and irritation from bunched up shorts. If you have two pair you are good to go, just wash in sink at night and they will be dry in the morning. They look funky but they work great.

Sounds like you might need to shave some of the foam in the down.

I have the Sundowner on my SG. I had mine altered. A lot of foam was removed and replaced with Gel. They also trimmed the sides to make it narower. Much better.

No joke dude...you cn also try cheaper shorts from Walmart...Franklin compression shorts in the sports section or Under Armour Boxer Jocks...Makes you skin slide better on the pant fabric and doesn't stretch the skin as much...eliminates the shear factor.
