Re:Calling all Big-Arse riders: Wide vs Narrow? 1 Year, 3 Months ago

Well...ahem....large...kinda...bigger pant size than I've seen here so far...and the biggest aid I found on a recent trip from V.I. to Brandon Manitoba & back (approx. 5000 km of riding) was a basket weave design on the upholstery on my 87 wing...the irregular surface aided the air flow between butt & seat..some days I rode 13 hrs and still felt like I could back on the bike and ride again..
I've got the stock seat on my R* and am headin to SD in August from BC (approx 6000 km return) and I'm hopin that it don't kill my butt...but I guess I'll find out.
