Sailorjerry, I had my seat revamped a few years ago. New leather and memory foam. It thickens the seat a little, and, has made my ride a little
more confortable. Here's little personal info. 5'11'' and 165lbs, so, I don't have the thickest butt out there, and, I like my seat alot better then when it was stock.
You may go this way. Will set you back more or les 100$. You may even have it custom made to your liking if you wish. And, one important thing to take into consideration if you go this way. Either have the passager part of the seat reconstructed as stock as possible if you ride with the rear cowl on, or else, get ready to take your dremel out and grind away at the cowl to have it fit. I was stuck doing this to mine.
It still looks great, and, no one can tell, but, it's thined out on the edge to
fit nice and snugg.

 

Thanks jack, I was thinking of trying this since I have a stock seat that needs to be recovered anyways, I may have to try the memory foam, I had heard the gel seats are ok but they tend to smash down too much on long rides where the memory foam may conform to my lack of a butt and give a more comfortable ride for longer.

 

Seems many of us suffer from this. I know myself and a few others lately have purchased an extra seat or seat pan to make our own seats. Here is a website to help you, if you decide to go the DIY route DIY motorcycle seat

 

Yep, add me to the no *** list.

160 lbs, 6'2"... My VTR came with a recovered stock seat with gel padding - made for the previous owners much larger *** than mine (I can only assume, because its rock hard for me...)

I swapped the stock seat from my parts bike & prefer that.

I'll be following this thread if anyone comes up with a solution.

After a couple hours its time to get off and walk around anyways.

 

Now that's funny.
I had Noassatall when I was a kid. So I feel your pain.
Try some Ibuprofen. It is the best OTC for helping with this kind pain. Another thought, and with out knowing anything about you I could be wrong, is to take a careful look at your diet. There are many foods and food like substances that cause inflammation. Some more some less depending on a multitude of factors. It's accumulative, it doesn't have to be one food type. The symptoms will manifest in different ways in different people. Again, some more, some less.
If there is a weakness in a system, stress will expose it.

 

Yeah, I nothing back there. I wear a belt and my pants still fall down. I think I am going to try jacks memory foam idea, maybe get a piece and do some testing on it my self and see where that goes.
