Pain in the Butt 4 Years ago
|
|
|
Has anyone here expierenced tail bone pressure and pain during rides? If so how did you correct it. I have a mustang seat that is killing my tail bones and the stocker is better but not by much. After short durations the tail bone is sore but much worse when I get off the bike and walk around. It lasts for about 20 min then back to normal. Suggestions please.

I did. I just grew a fatter butt.
Some guys go with gel inserts.

I got it big time with the stock seat..after a few miles..my Corbin not..but after more than a few miles yes...
So it is the motorcycle ..and outside of quit riding...the bandaid solutions.. working for some and not for long...its going to be a part of riding the iron horse...
PS Road conditions make a difference too...your going to ram yer tailbone around here in rough pavement but on smooth suburban roads you can go for miles and hours...

Things got a lot better for me when I put floorboard extensions on. Even with the stock seat. I'm more stretched out and not pushing myself back in the seat.

I hear there are some great repolacement seats, like the Ultimate and Pacific Coast.
I use a seat pad, less expensive. Just bought an Ortho-Deluxe ($134 shipped), which has a gap in the back right where the tailbone is. It's medical polymer and memory foam. Prior to that, I had an AirVent pad ($55). Without the pad, I was in horrible pain on the stock seat after about 200 miles.
With the AirVent, I have twice done 647-mile rides in one shot (13 hours) and also several back-to-back 400-500-mile days. I was not comfortable at the end, but without the pad, that would have been impossible. Getting ready to take that same trip with the new Ortho-Deluxe pad, so I'll know more when I get back.
I also heard that Monkey Butt powder helps. Wearing bicycling shorts (padded seat and crotch) seems to help me also on those long, long rides.

I have had it too and I think it's gotta be sitting position.
Before the Corbin I thought of bungee tying my lazy-boy to her.
Do you have hiway pegs to chage the position. And a backrest of course.

I have hiway pegs on the Cobra fatty. It helps but not much. I did not have this issue with my Goldwing which is a more upright position. It seems to be an issue with the seat position. I have also started wearing boxers when riding which actually help things a bit. I think I would look into the air hawk or the ortho pad. Regular gel pads actually make it worse for me.

I have the corbin and when I start to feel pain I stand up and push against the drivers back rest thus getting my butt just off the seat. I ride that way for about 2 minutes and then sit back down. I do this through out the day if I'm doing a long ride. Just getting my butt off the seat for a short period really helps. And like others my wife and I have done 14 hour days in the seat. Which is coming up again in August for Sturgis.

These people can help you out, You say you still have the stock seat so you are good to go.
The seat is amazing.
