    I have no ass. It's been worked off or chewed off.

    Well on to the problem. Have a 13 RS with ultimate tall boy which is nice but after 1 1/2 to 2 hrs riding my butt is numb and bones in the cheek are sore.

    Anyone have any recommendations . Tried airhawk didn't like.

    Thanks

    Question: what have you done regarding the placement of your feet?
    Do you have floorboards? Highway bars?
    You might just have to find the right place for your feet to be; in order to keep your ass happy!

    IMHO the answer to seat problems is Russell. Do it once and be done.

    Have floor boards Bob and installing highway pegs shortly so legs are straight.

    Have a grand invested in seat and drivers backrest. Will not invest money in another seat,

    Thinking highway pegs may help a little

    To me, this seems like the opposite to what you should do. If your legs are out in front of you, then all your weight is on your butt cheeks. If you were in a more rider-forward position, then some of your weight would be on your feet and legs. This would help fatigue and keep from having poor posture. I would try to get your feet under you more.

    With feet under you, you have more weight placed on your sit bones (ischial tuberosities). With feet forward, your weight is placed more posteriorly, and less pressure on your sit bones.

    To the OP, if I still have my beads, you can have them. I'll check my storage room later today.

    Ia'm 73 and 6'4" you have choices to make and there is a bunch out there I know because I have tried them all.
    Air, Beads,Gel,Sheepskin Even tried Water ( In the Air Hawk ).
    Seats Corbin, Mustang, Stock, Ultimate ones for Tall, Fat, Short and in between.
    I don't care How much Lipstick you put on that Horse It's still going to be a Horse.
    Sell that seat and get one that is made for you and the way you ride Its called a DAY-LONG.
    Someone offered you some beads to try I will make you the same offer if you want them they are yours for Free (and not internet free ) as in I will eat the shipping, It only takes a PM with a address.

    I just checked, and I must have thrown the beads out when we moved a few months back.

    To Large1,

    I'm pretty sure your smart ass comment was directed at me. I don't live that far from the OP, so they were going to be hand delivered.

    Default Trial and error

    Seats are as personal as can be. Over the years I have dozens for various motorcycles. Once you find the right one, trips are a joy! Until then, torture! To say you won't buy another when the one you have hurts is insanity! Fitness helps, but the seat has to fit. Pegs/bars/seat/you. How all that fits together is a puzzle. Not an easy one, either!! Keep trying! You will get there!!

    I have a 2012 Can Am Spyder RT-S. It had a comfortable stock seat, but the stictching was coming apart near the front, and there wasn't any backrest. At 65 years of age this year, I've come to the point where I (personally) needed a seat with a backrest. And because I wanted one that was electrically heated as well, I ordered one from Corbin. Corbin seats can be had electrically heated, come with a back rest, and all come with a fuel filler door. Neither electric heat, nor the filler door was available on the BRP comfort seat. And Corbin allows you to choose the color and style of the leather for the sides, seat, logo color, stitching, and welt. Maybe not an ideal fix for everyone, but one that has worked for my wife and I.

    I just remembered why I stopped using the beads. I originally purchased to use to keep the butt cool in hot weather. It worked well for that purpose. However, one really hot day, when I removed the beads after a couple hours ride, the seat skin had stretched, a lot. The spyder was still under the 2 year warranty, and the seat replaced; I didn't actually tell BRP what had happened. That was my experience with the beads.
