• 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.

Or go with some beads. I had swamp butt issue with my 2008, added a reclaimed car bead seat and it felt like I had an A/C unit in my seat. :thumbup: No more swamp butt, even when it was 95F.

I do not have a picture of the modified seat cover, but take a look at this site for inspiration.

Go to any car store, pick up the bead car seat and modify it to fit the front and you can have one for the passenger as well.
 
I have a gel insert in my seat that is a huge improvement over stock. Motorcycle Dave makes a great seat if you are interested in upgrading.
 
I put an '13 STS seat on my '08 (it's a straight swap) and it's very comfortable (sure feels like gel seat). I purchased the seat on SL, as a take-off
 
The addon gel seat cushion is from Butt Buffer. They really work and do not raise you up or feel squishy like the AirHawk. Love mine.
 
An Ultimate Seat solved my GS Problem BUT
To be comfortable in Hot weather I was using Baby Powder, Etc!!!

Switched to a Skin Lotion, Derma-what ever (You Know Where?) and It solved the problem!
 
I can !!!

I Dave here I stock the GEL call me anytime 8:00AM to 8:00 PM Pacific time..
Thanks :thumbup:

I have a set that straps on like what you described. I used it for a trip from Southern California to SITR back in 2012. I paid $100.00 for it, and if you are interested I'll let you have the set for $60.00 (including shipping). Give me a couple days to get a picture up.
