Man, that's dedication and love for riding, lemme tell ya!
I checked out a Brawler for my RG, but hated it just riding it around the block. I can't imagine running that seat for anything longer than a quick trip to the store or something.
Sheesh. I salute ya. Great looking seat, just really hard on the back and nether regions, at least for me.
I have an 07, the 08 and later Brawler is much better, softer seat with a little more of a backrest kick.
Congrats Doc. I just hope when ya get to 45 like me you ain't had ta have 2 back surgeries (like me). I'm good for about 3 tanks of gas (on the 5 gallon tank) on a good day and then I'm about toast. I bought a Brawler for my SG project which isn't complete yet so the verdict is still out on how far I be able to tolerate riding with it on the bike. It feels pretty good just sitting on on in the garage though and it SURE looks good!
42 this year, had back surgery at 30 (blew 3 discs at once had one fixed) its all in the conditioning. I was riding 600-700 every Sunday, I havent riden more than a couple hundred at a time in the last year or so, I couldnt jump on and do 1000 today but by the middle of summer I could.
Great around town seat. Not many guys like them for road trips. I run one around town and for Sunday rides. It's good for 100 miles. If I gas up and keep going it gets to be uncomfortable before reaching a second hundred. Everybody is different though. It might work for you, but I would be surprised.
