Seating comfort.

You might want to try the Kury. riser kit. It allows you to move the bars back and up cost about $80. Easy install. It worked for me.

Bob, thanks. I have already checked them out on wingstuff.com. I have added them to my wish list!

Lloyd we are the same height but I got you by 100 lbs. The seat isn't bad till after about two hrs. If I get off for 30 min its good for another hour or so.

That is exactly the same cause and effect for me.

I either had to buy a Mustang seat or take singing lessons. Seeing as I hate opera I bought the seat.

Good move with wingstuff, add an oil filter, magnetic oil plug, maybe a wrench, a bag of replacement rubber grommets etc. and get the bill over $100. you'll get free shipping and pay no sales tax.
Dang us old people we eat before 5 for a reason!

Do any of you guys find that you have moved forward in the seat after a couple of hours? Levi's get tight around the family jewels?

Thanks

The AirHawk is what you seek. It's sold at WingStuff. Get the "standard cruiser" size. In June of last year, I took a 2,000+ mile trip using this. Not only is it a great to sit on, it also keeps the "jewels" nice and cool in hot / humid weather. Not cheap, but worth every penny.

I use the stock seat and I've never had a problem sliding forward.

+1 no problems with my stock seat!

x2. I don't use it on the F6B, but I had it on my 2004 VStar. The original seat on that bike was unbearable after 40 minutes or so. I added the AirHawk R and it was great. The downside is that I had to buy a taller windshield - the Airhawk will raise your seat height an inch or two - which was just enough to put my dome up into the wind and create intolerable buffeting and noise.

I am keeping the AirHawk when I sell the VStar - I may want to use it in the future for the sake of this -->
