#105835 jdbeal (User) Fresh Boarder Posts: 3 STOCK SEAT HURTS-HELP! 4 Months ago   I just bought a 2006 Roadie with 1500 miles, and I love everything about the bike, except the stock seat. If I sit so that my but fits the seat, I am too far forward, angled back, and I feel like I am tipping backward. If I sit back in the seat so that my riding position is comfortable (really ON the back of the seat) my butt hurts in about 5 minutes. The stock is 4WM-00. Any suggestions? I have been looking at the Yamaha stiletto. Thanks jdbeal   Logged     The administrator has disabled public write access. #105836 jetmechanic (User) If you don't ride,then you don't know! Expert Boarder Posts: 404 Re:STOCK SEAT HURTS-HELP! 4 Months ago   There are some really good aftermarket seats out there. I have the Ultimate which is very comfortable. There are also Mustang,Corbin and some others. Any of those are better than stock.   Logged     Last Edit: 2008/08/03 20:27 By jetmechanic.     The administrator has disabled public write access. #105837 Greysnake (User) BB sold all the beer and bought a stratoliner. Platinum Boarder Posts: 2923 Re:STOCK SEAT HURTS-HELP! 4 Months ago   jdbeal,I've got a Mustang seat but I think most of the aftermarket seats are good it's just what fits you best.   Logged     06 Midnight Silverado *nothing shines like a star*   The administrator has disabled public write access. #105847 jdbeal (User) Fresh Boarder Posts: 3 Re:STOCK SEAT HURTS-HELP! 4 Months ago   I have heard that Mustang puts you forward on the bike, any brands known for putting you back/down?   Logged     The administrator has disabled public write access. #105851 fulgoar (User) bigg dan dzol Fresh Boarder Posts: 97 Re:STOCK SEAT HURTS-HELP! 4 Months ago   not to butt in on the conversation, but i asked a similar question the other week...im fixing to buy a roadie S* and was givin this link. http://www.ultimateseats.ca/yamaharoadstar.html i think thats what im going with,too many people say they are waaaay comfy. -DAN   Logged     Last Edit: 2008/08/03 21:02 By fulgoar.

Most aftermarket seats will move you forward some... I still have the stock seat, but... (No pun intended) I also have the brackets that move the controls forward by three inches. Moving your feet forward makes a big difference for the endurence your behind can handle in the stock seat...   Logged     Last Edit: 2008/08/03 22:23 By StarCruiser06.   Over 50...?

Talk about a world of a difference! Like someone else said, all aftermarkets move you up some, but the ultimates weren't too bad in that department. I'm 6'0" 220lb and it fits me like a glove   Logged       The administrator has disabled public write access. #105942 Helmut (User) If you can't be young be immature Senior Boarder Posts: 352 Re:STOCK SEAT HURTS-HELP! 4 Months ago   I too use the Ultimate seat. Great seat but very expensive. In the mean time you can make some changes to help a little. I found that wear blue jeans caused some tailbone pain because of the seams joining at the rear of the jeans. Also found that if i wore boxers or better yet cycling shorts that also helped relive some pain issues. Not permanent fixes but helpful until you find a new seat. By the way I also had a Mustang seat and found that I could ride longer but the same problems came back.   Logged       The administrator has disabled public write access.
