I rode by Spyder yesterday for only a couple of hours with my Alaska Leathers Butt Pad, and my tailbone was sore the rest of the day! I tried my gel pad to, no better. I decided that I'd never make it when we ride all day during the riding season.
So, after much thought and reading lots of postings on this site, I ordered my Corbin seat yesterday (3/17). I know there's lots of opinions pro and con, but I think this will work for me, plus I really like the looks of the Corbin seat.
My only difficulty is that I really don't WAIT well! I just got my confirmation and it says the "Schedule" date is
4/29/09! YIKES! Going to be one heck of a long wait! I only got my Spyder is October, and the riding season was pretty much over. I didn't know the stock seat would bother me like this, or I'd have ordered the Corbin over the winter!
You'd think that, at my advanced age, I'd have more patience, but NOOOOOO, I don't! Bummer!
