hey everyone. i have a 2010 honda shadow phantom 750, and the seat makes my tailbone ache within about 1 hour...(ive injured it a few times) to the point that i dont give a ch!t if i look like a retard with the little pillow i put on my seat!! haha

Hey i had the same problem ,
I ended up buying a corbin seat . It was wayyyyy better for me and the miss's on the back . Well worth the $$ .
If you like the bike , spend the $ and you will enjoy riding again ...

Look here for your seat. These people absolutely insist that you put 3-500 miles on the seat before you decide......if you don't like it, 100% money back

They're expensive with all extras for the fatboy, $900.00. But in my opinion well worth it

Thanks for such a nice post as it takes care of such a basic problem of a rider like comfort in riding, as far as the comfort is a question it is a very personal thing and something that may be good for one might not work that well for someone else, so its better to go to a good specialized dealer who can give a good suggestion for your specific needs.

While it is true that Mustang seats are expensive, you get what you pay for. I have one on my lowered heritage softail (read: almost no suspension), and it is more comfortable to ride on long trips then my friend's Ultra with the stock saddle. (He's buying a mustang seat now, too). My wife loves that seat too. Worth every penny and then some IMHO.

Russel Cycle Daylong seats. I put one on my GSA and never looked back. Rode a 1200km day in 12hrs all in pure comfort. Great price too since they use your seatpan to build.

It has been a very common problem, with high end bikes as it seems all they are putting the knowledge to increase engine power and getting m
ore speed and they tend to overlook the basic things like comfort of driver and the rider. And Its very bold on your side to put such a question quite broadly as number of persons tend to by shy about such questions.
