Well. my stock seat does hurt my tail bone some. Lost a lot of weight due to my Cancer. 50 pounds less. from Right at 200 down to 146 now. Does anyone have this seat ? Is it really any better ?

Hard to say, on my '07 I have the stock seat, but had 1" taken out and gel added. It's very nice. I couldn't go more than 80 miles before, and now can go all day. I'm 250 lbs. I also have a little lean forward that keeps me off my tailbone. Think about all those factors; it does take some tweeking. I remember my first 3 day ride with it stock and there was a lot of wiggling in the saddle.

It's not speeding till you get pulled over.

just arrived home and was going to suggest Spencer. A good fix for most problems and not expensive.

Spencer's will not return phone calls . They may do good work. I just can't do business with someone like this. BAD business not to return calls. It's just the way I roll. Anyone have a plan-b ?
