Default Tired of the Monkey Butt
Anyone have any suggestions on aftermarket seats. I have a 2006 StreetGlide. I had an upgraded seat put on when I bought it. However, on long trips, the wife and I are still fighting with monkey butt. I have been looking at Saddleman w/gel pads. Also, I have been looking at Corbins.
Any input would tame the monkey would appreciated.

+1 on the underarmor or ld comfort shorts. They work do a search lots of threads on it. When looking at the knock off brands check where the seam is and that it lays flat or will cause you more comfort problems.
