Took a 300 mile ride to and from Vero Beach this weekend. Oh God, my as was numb all night. I noticed while riding I was cutting circulation to my legs and had to stand on the pags several times. If I plan on riding to Indianapolis this spring or summer I'm going to have to invest in a better seat that for sure! :thumbsup:

Did you install it on top or inside, 3xcharm? Does it bead off the water or get soaked? Does it slide around a lot? PICS. Which size did you get small or medium?
Have done 600 in a day with my Corbin with nary a tingle, whereas with the stock brick I couldn't go 50 miles without getting numb. Either the Corbin or the Sargent seem to be the most popular aftermarket seats with VFRD members, and I'll bet that either one would work fine.
Sargent, Sargent, Sargent!!!! Spent 12 hours on it and my butt had a tingle. Now my right hand is a different story. You will never regret a sargent or corbin seat.
Well, I reck up high milege and going to Deals Gap this yeaf agian. I ordered a pair of motorcycle short with pads and summer $34.My friends swears by them, the ultimate cheaper way to fix that dreadfull monkey :D
Sargent helps, but before you do it, try a pair of bicycle shorts. Should solve the problem. You could also try a pair of underarmor underwear. I'd go woth biicycle shorts, though.
If you are just slabbing it - as opposed to twisties - try geting a "Bun Saver" (no kidding) :) . They are sold at outdoor stores as hunting or stadium seat cusions. I got one at Gander Mountain and used it until I got my Corbin. They cost only about $8 and have a strap you can loop under the seat to keep it in place. Just follow the directions on how to partialy deflate it to match your underside contours :blink:
They don't look so good unless your bike is painted in camouflage :deer: Repeat - not for twisties where you'll be moving around the seat.
