I ordered the BRP Comfort Seat this past Tuesday. It will arrive on Monday. My backside is already feeling better! It is bound to be an improvement............

There were many reasons for the change of the site software, the biggest was security. The age of the old software also meant no server updates for certain programs. There are many benefits to the new software, one of the biggest is the mobile functionality. Ill fix up some stuff in the coming days, we'll also try to get some of the old addons back or the data imported back into the site like the garage. To create a thread or to reply with a post is basically the same as it was in the prior software. The default style of the site is light colored, but i temporarily added a darker colored style, to change you can find a link at the bottom of the site.
Butt Relief is on the Way!

We installed a comfort seat in the middle of our trip to the Spyder rally in L.A. in '09. We drove 1400 miles with the old seat, and then 1400 miles back home with the comfort seat.
There is some improvement, but nothing like we expected. After our trip this past summer, which equaled to 8000 miles, she has decided a Russell DayLong is in our future.
Actually, 2 RDL's if Spyder #2 works out like I m hopin'..:2thumbs:

It's better than the stock seat but my butt still hurt after a long day. I recommend getting an airhawk for the real long days of travel.

Airhawk is the best quick fix. They have a new airhawk 2 that is less expensive. It is made from a different material than the original rubber one. Looks like it works the same.

Started changing out my stock seat with the comfort seat on Saturday, then realized you really need two 1/2 inch wrenches to tighten the locknut that goes on the bolt that holds the seat shock in place so I finished it Sunday in a few minutes once I had all the tools. Total time for the install was about an hour maybe 45 minutes if you don't watch football while changing it out. On the instructions it states that when installing the bolt for the seat latch to screw it in until the distance is 1.039 inches from the plastic on the seat pan to the beginning of the cone-shaped part of the bolt is a good starting point. Well on my '10 if I would have set it at 1.25 - 1.5 inches then I probably would not have had to make any adjustments to the bolt after the seat was installed.
I haven't been able to get out for a ride other than to work but I can tell a difference in the riding position and that the pressure points are different from the stock.

Thanks for the good info. Mine (for an 08 SM5) will arrive today. Did you need any other tools besides the two 1/2" wrenches?
To all that recommend the Russell, I tend to agree with you. I will now have a seat to send them if I am not happy with the BRP comfort seat and, meanwhile, I can save my pennies. At this time the extra money for the Russell is not in my bank account.
