Last year before my 2,000 mile Yellowstone ride I hurt my back, resulting in a bulging disc and sciatic nerve pain that plagued me threw out the whole ride, well a year later the sciatic problem is long gone, thank God but the disc is still their and I am staring a 3,500 mile ride dead in the face. The disc is not a big problem normally but this is a 10 day, quite a few miles thing, anyone had any success w/an over the counter back wrap/support ? Thanks in advance
When I injured my back, I used a kidney belt that I had from riding my motocross bike.
Seemed to work well for me. I also had the sciatic nerve pain shooting down the back of my leg.
I just got off the bike every so often and took the kidney belt off for a few minutes.
Good luck

Thanks Pap.
A quality weight belt would work as well. Back in the day, HD riders wore a huge belt, larger in the front than normal and the back had to be about 10" tall. If there is a leather shop around you and the owner is old enough he may know of and how to make one!

I have the same issues and after surgery I find these 2 things work miracles
voltaren gel
liquid advil 400 mg
If you have never tried them you need too they really work to take away the pain and stiffness. Good luck

Fortunately I can keep my socks on when counting the number of times I have taken pain meds in my life but I will check those two out for the trip. Thank you.
