Saddles

I measured the useable sitting space on my stock seat after I had talked at length with a vendor of Corbin seats and ordered one. But, back to the stock seat. My unscientific measurement was 10" wide and 8" usable length. My butt is larger than that and that small a seat space is why my butt gets so sore when riding, even with an inch of foam, an AirHawk pad and sheepskin cover. The vendor with whom I conversed said that in all his years in the motorcycle parts business, the chief complaint about Japanese cycles was the uncomfortable seats. DUH! Why don't the Japanese make a seat to fit us fat butt Americans, as opposed to the 125-130 lb. Japanese rider? Guess that's what keeps Corbin, Day Long, Daytona and others in business. Must be some kind of conspiracy going on.
