Default Passenger Comfort

I have a 2012 ultra classic limited and I put the 255 cam in it. My wife is filling the vibration. She use to be able to ride all day, now about 300 miles with a stop every hour does her in. Is their a gel cushion out their that will help? OR any other ideals?

Let's go back to basics. Are you saying that before you changed cams on your 2012 bike your wife was able to ride all day? Or that she was able to do that on your previous bike? I find it difficult to believe that a change of cam has changed your bike by that much!

Make her walk!



oh wait....nope, you gunna have to fix that seat, but I'll bet she was dealing with a little discomfort before the cams and just used that as a way to say "hey stupid, my A$$ hurts!!!" I could be wrong.

Good luck

I've heard a lot from guys who have problems with their spouses not being able to ride as long as they would like. Let's face it those back seats are not as comfortable as the front no matter what you do to them.

I had a 2009 ultra. I now have a 2012 ultra limited. I have relocated the trunk and lowered the floor boards. She is still having some trouble getting comfortable. This bike has more vibration for her. I may not have the air adjusted correctly for this bike yet.

If she's not comfortable on the Ultra Classic, I think there's another problem. It's a recliner on wheels. See if changing her feet position up or out makes a difference. The adjustable floor boards might help her.
