Try Carolina Butt Buffer. I sat on one of these and they are amazing. The demo seat actually has several sets of keys and pins sticking up and you can't feel a thing. They can custom fit to any seat.

Hey TAStar1 - I saw a bunch of those guys custom making memory foam seats at Bike Week as well. About 3/4 of the way home I was wishing I had one! If you can get some info - web sites etc post it up.

Re:Gel Pads 5 Years ago  
I had a Butt Buffer on my 1500 Vulcan and Loved it. I had one put on my Star at Thunder Beach in Panama City Beach over the weekend of May 4th. I also bought a spare Pad (goes on top) for my Rider.

I like the But Buffers very much but I would do it different if I could do it over. They had a seat on a Roadie (The Butt Buffer man from Jacksonville FL rides a Road Star).

He asked if I wanted him to do mine like his. It felt great so I said yes. It is cut slightly narrower at the front and notched at the rear and gives you a little easier reach to the ground. I am not sure if mine is exactly like his but after extended riding I feel like I am moving forward.

If I had it to do over I would just have him sink it in the seat to the normal fit. I have ridden this seat for 6 hours with short breaks. Returning from Panama City Beach to Atlanta area. The ride was much better than the trip down. I have riden my old Vulcan for 8 hours stopping only for Gas and could have kept going. The Buffers are Butt savers for sure.

Thanks Guys I got a boney butt gals at work say I have no ass. I'm looking to do the mods myself as I don't want any guys playing with my ass. Hey Doc maybe I could just go get a set of BIG implants to use.
