    Numb Butt

    Ok Guys I just returned from a great trip. Had a wonderful time and actually didn't get rained on once. The only problem I experienced was a Numb Butt about 7/8 of the trip. I know many of you say the stock seat is great. Well I experienced that after about 100 miles or so the next 400 miles a day suck. Even with stopping every 180 to 200 miles for fuel it stays numb for most of the ride. I used Hotel towels under me and every thing else I could think of. So anyway the stock seat has to go. Problem is I've only ridden on Corbin and a Custom made seat in my 35 years of riding. But the last Corbin I had wasn't that comfy. With the Russel Day my tippy toes just barely touch the ground and it makes me sit up higher than I like. I know many of you have purchased the Mustang Trippers. How are they for long trips? Anybody been on long saddle times with them? Will the Utopia Back rest work with them?
    Please guys I really need your input to try an avoid the potential possibility of spending a small fortune trying to find the correct seat for this bike. I brag about how fantastic this bike is all the time. Always puts a smile on my face, Except on this last trip. It actually got to the point that I dreaded the next days ride. I'm still sore. Suppose to return to KY. at the end of the month. Got to get something before then......I'll try to get some photos up Of the Klock Werks raising in a couple days..................Dickie

    Numb Butt

    Just got back from trip from Charleston, SC to Deals Gap, NC which is about a 6 hour ride, and no numb butt on my Mustang seat. Very happy with the back support and ride.

    If I can't fix it, I will fix it so no one can fix it.

    Why does the RDL make you stand on your tippy toes? I have a ~31~ inseam and mine doesn't.

    Perhaps the one I sat on wasn't made for me. But he had the same inseam as me. I could only flat foot one foot and tippy toe the other.30" 265lbs

    Thank you Guys for all the Suggestions. Thank you Phantom for the Phone call with a suggestion. May seem funny but I rode to St. Augustine Fl. about a two hour ride from my house with bubble wrap under my tush. It worked pretty darn good. Never got numb Butt. So I purchased an AirHawk for the trip to KY this weekend. Thank you guys for suggesting it. 30 years of riding and I'd never heard of Airhawk. I think this will do until I decide on what brand and type seat I will purchase.....................Dickie

    Ok I drive truck from a living average about 500 plus a day numb butt is my enemy. When I'm on my F6B I'm in heaven. Many trips of 400 miles a day zero numb butt on a stock seat. Only been riding for Over 45 yrs best seat ever. An I've had over 30 bikes. Only saying it works for me.
