butt question

relli · 07-10-2007

been ridin longer and farther with the new bike, seat is abo****ley the most comfy oe ive been on BUT(T) im finding after 350-400 miles i start to get (prep H) sore . the short answer im sure is shorter rides -longer rest stops BUT(T) im kinda tryin to prepare myself for an iron butt in the near future-got the wet butt thingie down ok.

so any ideas?????????????

I guess there are gel pads, sheep skins and other comfort devices out on the market that would help. My longest day in the saddle was just over 500 miles with few stops and the Mustang seat proved it's worth as I never got uncomfortable. Don't think I'd want to try an Iron Butt and find my limitations the hard way.

Rich!!!!
I am so happy to read that you are out riding your butt off!!!!

How is your wife doing? Has she started riding again?

Chaz is LOVING that Corbin seat we got from you!!!!!!!!

Sheepskin works really good. Airhawk pads are good. I haven't tried a gel pad.

My Mustang seat is great, I think I could do an iron butt on it with a sheepskin.

My personal trick is to wear under armour compression shorts under my jeans. Helps a lot with both the swamp a$$ and the comfort.

I'm good for 400+ miles ever since I had my seat restuffed w/ memory foam. Haven't tried farther in one haul yet...

Where can I get the GEL PADS?

gbfromsd · 07-14-2007

Try the suppositories BEFORE you get sore, not after.

Here's one source: J&P Cycles - Motorcycle exhausts, seats, mirrors, and more

Just Google "raw gel pads"

This is the way to go, makes even a stock seat bearable for 400+!
