#40395 Liquid_Edge (User) I'd Rather Be Riding Expert Boarder Posts: 568 New to the Forum 4 Years, 8 Months ago   Hey guys just thought I would say hello. I heard about your website through a friend and decided to join the forum. Nice to see so many people appreciate the Road Star as much as I do. Just bought it on July 3rd while I was off on vacation and already racked up 2200 miles. This is the first bike I've ever owned and I definitely need a good source of information. I would definitely like to know what I can do about the pain I experience after about 60 miles in a very sensitive spot lol. Seats a bit rough at that distance. Also does anyone know why they stopped putting the studs on the new seats? Thank you for a great site and I look forward to reading many more posts.

The stock seat seems to make lots of friends Do a search for seats and you will get lots of ideas. Don't know why they aren't putting studs on. The mind of Yamaha works in mysterious ways.   Logged     Last Edit: 2007/09/10 04:57 By Musky.     The administrator has disabled public write access. #40400 Greysnake (User) I'm so far behind I think I'm first. Platinum Boarder Posts: 7907 Re:New to the Forum 4 Years, 8 Months ago   Hello liquidedege,welcome to the clinic,and congrats on your new bike. As for your deriair there are several after market seats out there that are good. I personally have a mustang seat with back rest. others have the ultimate which is also a good seat. The choice is yours. What ever fits your height and weight.Good luck.   Logged     06 Midnight Silverado *nothing shines like a star*   The administrator has disabled public write access. #40403 Big Bear (Moderator) Who loves you , Baby? Moderator Posts: 6997 Re:New to the Forum 4 Years, 8 Months ago   Welcome to the Clinic , Nick. Seats are very subjective, many like Mustang, Corbin, and Ultimate. Get your credit card out! I believe the studded seats come on the Midnight/Silverado models, base models (like Mine) are standard black. If you want Studs, many times they are available on e-bay fairly cheap, and sometimes folks on here have them for sale.

I just ordered an Ultimate seat with backrest. I also found that after only a couple hundred miles my back AND backside weren't going to get along with the stocker. You will get all kinds of opinions, and like it's been said, it will really come down to personal choice. By the way, I was wonderin' who took off with my bike....

Platinum Boarder Posts: 4367 Re:New to the Forum 4 Years, 8 Months ago   Papatom, they do look kinda familiar Welcome liquid, Yami told me that studs are only on the midnite's now also. But that was last month, they could change thier mind again tomorrow. Have fun with the bike.   Logged     04 MIDNITE SILVERADO   The administrator has disabled public write access. #40428 1700chris (User) Senior Boarder Posts: 222 Re:New to the Forum 4 Years, 8 Months ago   Welcome to the clinic! I was just looking to see if I still had my seat from my midnight but I think the husband sold it. I will check with him and if he didn't I am sure he would let it go for next to nothing. I personally like the Yamaha Stinger seat but as they have already said you will get lots of opinions.   Logged     Call of the wild!

Unfortunately soft and cushy seats have showroom appeal and are the best at getting the bike out the door But the shock of rough roads goes right thru to yer tailbone on these seats So firm is good..as found in some aftermarket seats as well.. your height and weight determine where ON the stock seat you will sit so the stocker fits many heights better...again showroom appeal If you find a seat that you sit IN it may favour shorter guys as it pushes you slightly more forward.. GOOD LUCK....   Logged     2009 Ultra Classic HD...2005 Silverado Road Star MY WEBSITE HOG HEAVEN Listen to the Road Star   The administrator has disabled public write access. #40442 Jreed (User) Expert Boarder Posts: 533 Re:New to the Forum 4 Years, 8 Months ago   Welcome to the Clinic. I can only speak from my experience. A back rest solved my Butt problems I still run the stock seat, well some say I am still a major pain it the arse.. Enjoy the ride, call the credit card companies and raise your limits, you will always be adding and upgrading..   Logged     http://www.nopork.com/imagesbikesalt/easy1962_1.jpg [url=http://www.wunderground.com/US/GA/Tunnel_Hill.html?bannertypeclick=gizmotimetempbig] http://banners.wunderground.com/weathersticker/gizmotimetempbig_both/language/www/US/GA/Tunne   The administrator has disabled public write access.
