Comments on: Your Butt Will Thank You http://bolty.net/2008/08/30/your-butt-will-thank-you/ a blog about riding motorcycles Thu, 29 Jul 2010 23:00:46 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.0 By: Stacy http://bolty.net/2008/08/30/your-butt-will-thank-you/comment-page-1/#comment-1060 Stacy Sun, 22 Nov 2009 01:34:08 +0000 http://bolty.net/?p=63#comment-1060 <a href="http://bolty.net/2008/08/30/your-butt-will-thank-you/#comment-1059" rel="nofollow"><strong>@Phil:</strong></a> My suggestion would be to make note of what you like about your current seat and what you don't like about it. Are there any bothersome pressure points? If so, where are they? Also make note of the slope of the seat. Some seats force one's <em>ahem</em> unmentionables into the tank. If you're a distance rider, how does your rear end feel after several hours in the stock seat? When does the pain start, and where does it hurt? Make sure to include honest descriptions of your physical shape. Is your rear end bony or does it have padding? Your weight would probably be helpful as well. All this sounds like a lot of minutia, but Don can't work miracles without something to go on, and the more details he has the better the end result will be. @Phil: My suggestion would be to make note of what you like about your current seat and what you don’t like about it.

What would you suggest I give him in addition to the photos and measurements he asks for to do a seat through the mail? I can't very well ride there to have it done, being from Atlanta, GA. but I want him to have as much input from me as he needs to get mine just right.

Since he moved into the back of the accessory store, I literally live within a half mile or less. Convenient, huh? The SV seat looks really nicely done!
