Seat question.

[boogerdave]

I've tried 1/2" gel pad and ceramic beads. Im now saving my egg money for something soft and supple to cushion my tired ass; and it won't be a Corbin.

That airhawk is better than either of those . . still not a Russell day-long though.

cktire I looked it up and it's a real condition, but I wouldn't have told any one.

From .caringmedical.com

Coccygodynia can be caused by a number of factors. Usually, patients report pain after a fall onto their buttocks. This is referred to as acute coccygodynia. Chronic coccygodynia, on the other hand, usually occurs after damage to the sacrococcygeal ligaments due to a difficult pregnancy, delivery, repeated trauma, or from repetitive strain from rowing, cycling or faulty posture while sitting. Some also cite anal intercourse as the cause of pain.

Yeah Lester.....people always assume the worse.. I'm not worried about people's opnion. I have had new knees put in and I need a new wrist. Some due to MC crashes. It's just arhritis in the tailbone. You forgot to read the entire article
No big deal....

I know.... I'm just trying to help another poor soul keep riding. I do enjoy the back and forth on this site. All the folks are great. The information has really helped me understand my bike and has saved me a lot of money.
I was advised to take a lot of drugs. I have a theory about changing things physically instead of solving them with drugs. I found that this seat setup really worked. I wish I had it before the condition. Maybe I would have prevented the condition?
I've been reading for years about bikers with tailbone pain and the efforts they will go for relief. Why...to ride!
All is well Lester. Thanks for your humor and comments. You might see me ride by you when your in the roadside rest area some day.

I've been riding for over 40 years and guys I will NEVER have another cruiser without a driver backrest. It makes ALL THE DIFFERENCE for hauls of any length. I'm 6'4" also and for a LONG time I have been plagued with lower back pain after relatively short distances prior to having a back rest. For me it's a must. There are lots of choices out there. Corbin is a good one but it will be an expensive one. Good luck in your search.

Agreed. After 30 plus years on a bike I tried a backrest two years ago and cannot believe what that does to comfort. I don't care what it looks like-it's the single biggest improvement I ever did. What I like about the Utopia and the Triumph is that they pivot (the pad area) so in the bumps I'm not getting jabbed like on my Corbin-which I sold because of that.
This may assist others-the Utopia solution is also much less than the others.

Many folks over on the VTX Owner's Assoc. site swear by this outfit:
