I have had back surgery, and up until recently my back has not impacted my riding (I have done several Iron Butt rides). Recently, my left groin has been cramping up after as little as an hour of riding. It seems to be starting at my left "butt bone." I am currently using a Mustang seat. Has anyone else experienced this issue, and more importantly, has anyone come up with a solution...maybe a softer seat???
Aleve works well for me on long trips bike or auto. https://www.drugs.com/aleve.html
I too have had back surgery (disc removed).
For me a Russell Day Long (great folks to work with) & Heli Bars seem to have worked on my "B". RDL with risers & pull backs, worked on 2 other bikes.
If you have the OEM Honda seat, you wouldn't be with out a seat.
I had raise foot pegs that made my hips hurt, went back to OEM.
I've never used a Mustang, they are great looking seats.
Ever use a "bone cracker"? After trying 6 or 7, I found a good one that helped me a lot....... Then I moved
+1 one on the Aleve medication..Works great for me on longer rides to help with back and hip issues..Seems to work for about 4/5 hours until it wears off..Recently posted on an Internet medical web-site, they reported that long-term use of Aleve is not good for you, but I don't take it that often...I've tried different seats, etc. but cannot justify the cost compared to a bottle of Aleve..My Mustang seat is just fine....Regards and ride safeOriginally Posted by olegoat345

Does the Russell seat raise you further off the ground?I too have had back surgery (disc removed).

The RDL does what ever you wish for it to do as far as lower, higher, back more, what ever. They custom make it for you, your specs, weight, wishes. Mine is back and up a good bit more than stock.
Are you sitting on your wallet?
No I am not...Money is far from any issues with my current bike/seat/bars...As I get older and my riding miles are slowing down a lot, I am very satisfied with my set-up as it is.....Regards
I think that what he meant was that sitting on your wallet really twists your hips and back and cause pain.

Years ago I started having problems on one day drives and rides between Minneapolis and Cincinnati. Hot spot on right butt cheek and back and shoulder issues. I was watching a tv show and the wallet issue was brought up. Tried on my next ride and what a relief. Now monkey but was a whole different problem to resolve.
