Butt and Tail bone started hurting after 350 miles 11 Months, 2 Weeks ago
Went on and nice 500 mile ride today and after 350 mile my butt and tailbone started hurting. Is that normal on any seat including ED and Ultima? I have a Mustang seat and was just wondering if 350 miles is good? Want to buy a ED, but if its going to start hurting after 350 mile like the Mustang then I will just stay with it.

Some seats hurt more than others, but 350 miles starts to wear on me too. I think I try to sit too far back and it puts more pressure on the 'ol tail. I've given up on just riding nonstop all day. I stop and stretch my legs and get a drink every tank. I have a whole shelf of seats and in order of pain intensity (worst to best) they are:
Dragger style
Stock
PCS modified
Mustang
E D Big Tour
Wow, didn't realize I had so many. I need to have a garage sale.

Ask me about my attention deficit disorder or my pie or my cat. A dog. I have a bike. Do you like TV? I saw a rock. Hi.

Get a AIRHAWK seat cushion, I just had got back home from a 470 mile ride, no sore or hurt butt, I've had my AIRHAWK for over a year now and still love it, tell you guy's something else that most would laugh at, but, DO NOT CARRY YOUR WALLET IN YOUR BACK POCKET, it will make your hurt more, wether it'b your butt or your back.

Usually we are done after 300 -350 a day with sight seeing and stopping for lunch and it's time to get a room anyway and have a cool one and get ready for tommorrow.

I've got an ED and as long as I move around a little on the seat I stay pretty comfy. Last weekend I made a 600 mile run and never stopped to think about my butt.

Have fun and ride safe.

+1 on the Airhawk. I just picked up an Airhawk R, their latest and greatest design. It lists for $200+, but I got it for $139 shipped with a 90 day money back guarantee. I took it on a 300 mile ride last week and it was nice. I'ver ridden with it around town on shorter 30-50 mile rides and it's been great. I'm taking a 500 mile ride tomorrow and I'll let you know how it turns out.

In case you are / ever get serious about a garage sale, and consider letting that Dragger seat go, let me know. Depending on what you were asking, I'd definitely have to give it some thought and double check the finance's situation.
