Re:Butt Buster 10 Months ago  
Well after reading what everyone had to say about the E.d. seat I pulled the trigger and ordered my set from Mike. Boy that's a lot of money though. In the long run I'm sure I will get my moneys worth as I'm a big guy and when I can I ride to a office about 100 miles away each week. With the stock seat I am always ready for a little relief.

Re:Butt Buster 10 Months ago  
Congrats Mudball! Which seat(s) did you buy? After a phone conversation with Mike and leaning on his experience, I ordered the big touring and the passenger seat w/backrest. Not sure I'm crazy about the look of the backrest but am sure I'll appreciate it on longer rides. Hell, I'll probably take longer rides if it doesn't mean having to pay for it with my arse!!

Re:Butt Buster 10 Months ago  
I went with the big touring, passenger with rider backrest and passengers back pad. I didn't make the list so I guess mine will be sent out the first of next week.
