uncomfortable seat

redud · 07-23-2012, 08:38 PM

I have a 2008 Vulcan Nomad with standard seat, and after 50+ miles it gets very uncomfortable, seem like it pinches my butt where it curves up in back, has anyone ever had a seat cut down?

I had my seats done last winter for the same reason. If you don't have a local shop that can mod your seat Spencer can and he did a great job on mine.

Look in the For Sale section, there is a Mustang Seat from a 2007 for sale. Look for Scion0.

Buy a Russel and don't look back.

+1. Expensive, but well worth the money if you ride a lot.

I think thats what I'd do on my next bike right away. Mine is too old for me to want to spend that much money on as I'm not sure how much longer I;ll be keeping it. But it would be a good investment to be comfortable.

Bet it inadvertantly ended up in your junk mail folder. Happens to me once in a while.

You've got junk mail!

That is a good email address. I am guessing it did go to the junk mail. I will have to start looking in that folder to weed out any good mail. Again, sorry it went down this way.
