#312081 Gram (Admin) Been there, wrecked that.

I suspect this is because of corbin's proprietary foam. Glad it fits ya Gram, happy scooting, hey, they wouldn't still be in business if some folks weren't happy with them. I'm real happy with them Thanks.

I was just thinking that you may just need to relocate the position of your feet to help your back, Another thought is to seek out a specialist in Body Ergonomics, they may be able to tell you what to change to make you more comfortable it depends on the nature and position of you back problems that is for sure. I hope you get it worked out but at this point you have to ask yourself which is going to be cheaper a heritage Soft tail or a specialist and more mods?. Please let us know how you resolve this problem.   Logged     Last Edit: 2010/09/27 19:47 By .   Ride it like you stole it, just keep the rubber down!

I installed risers first with my stock seat and it delayed the misery about another hour. Mostly pain in my lower back and arse. I installed an Ultimate seat about 5000 miles ago and it immediately took away the ass burn and lower back pain but I get a little sore in my neck and shoulders after a few hours. The seat definitely made a better ride, although it repositioned me enough that I will have to look at handlebar adjustment. Like the Ultimate seat Good luck!   Logged       The administrator has disabled public write access. #312089 bikersteve (User) Steve Platinum Boarder Posts: 1271 Re:roadstar silverado / hertiage softail 1 Year, 8 Months ago   I'm 6'2" and 215 lbs. My cure for my lower back pain was a drivers backrest and footpegs mounted on the floorboards.   Logged     ALL GAVE SOME AND SOME GAVE ALL   The administrator has disabled public write access. #312099 oneperfectrun (User) Gold Boarder Posts: 893 Re:roadstar silverado / hertiage softail 1 Year, 8 Months ago   +1 on the Corbin. I had an older Corbin and then moved the the Yami Comfort Cruise which is basically the same as a Corbin. Works great for me. I'm 6'1" and 230. Don't have any trouble with back or butt pain but wouldn't mind havin baby apes. I think they might make for a little more comfy riding position.   Logged     Last Edit: 2010/09/27 20:45 By oneperfectrun.   Any old hippie that knows a pan head also knows a Roadie aint one! .......takehikes   The administrator has disabled public write access. #312100 Wewalaw (User) Senior Boarder Posts: 374 Re:roadstar silverado / hertiage softail 1 Year, 8 Months ago   Bartish I had similar problems riding my stock 03. I'm 5'10" and 203 lbs, 31 inch inseam. I bought a used Mustang seat set with drivers backrest. It solved about 80% of my problem. I rotated my bars up and now need to move my bars back about 2 inches with risers. I feel I need to move my foot controls foward a little. I believe cutting the heel part of the shifter off and cutting the foot brake pedal in half will give me more room to adjust my feet. The Mustang seat made a big difference. My wife says her seat is also greatly improved. As a suggestion get your chiropractor (?) to look at your posture while seated on the bike he may offer good suggestions on the seat arrangement. Good luck!   Logged     The administrator has disabled public write access. #312104 medic025 (User) Fresh Boarder Posts: 18 Re:roadstar silverado / hertiage softail 1 Year, 8 Months ago   I switched from corbin to Ultimate a few weeks ago and OMG!! What a difference. My butt and back feel awesome but I soon will be doing apes and highway pegs to stretch out.   Logged     The administrator has disabled public write access. #312111 bartish (User) Senior Boarder Posts: 274 Re:roadstar silverado / hertiage softail 1 Year, 8 Months ago   thanks everyone for all your input!! yes had more room to move my feet on the heritage,your foot can go under both floorboard controls on the heritage.   Logged     The administrator has disabled public write access. #312113 Stick (User) Gold Boarder Posts: 679 Re:roadstar silverado / hertiage softail 1 Year, 8 Months ago   I'm 6'2" and 185 lbs. I have the stock bars, risers and floorboard positions and run the Corbin duel tour seat. I also have lower back problems. My seat doesn't help my back one bit and after riding 50 miles the monkey butt sets in. I would like to try the Ultimate seat but the cash is a bit short right now. Before I buy another seat though I'll probaly change bikes and then deal with the seat on it.   Logged       The administrator has disabled public write access. #312128 bartish (User) Senior Boarder Posts: 274 Re:roadstar silverado / hertiage softail 1 Year, 8 Months ago   more info! 6'0 tall 210 body weight gram,which corbin seat do you use?
