It's mostly my hip angle that is too tight and I'm sensitive to that due to a leg length discrepency. I would love to throw a taller seat on and that relieve my discomfort. Truth is, I was facing this not long after I bought the bike. I started with a bar swap, then the saddle, and last footpegs. I'm just afraid to throw more money at it, but maybe I didn't go far enough with the saddle.
I just got rid of my car because of the low seating position bothering my hip. Bought a new pickup since that's comfortable. Took an additional rebate for financing and I have a few months to pay off the loan so the dealer doesn't get penalized by the bank if I pay off the loan right away. I certainly have some time to decide and either way, I don't plan on being a stranger. This is the best forum I have been on ever, period. It's tight knit and that's why you see so many who take the time to announce either their departure or just selling the bike (but many stick around).
My passion for the bike is still strong and that's difficult to deal with. I can go out to the garage and just swoon all over the bike. I can take off on it and the noises it makes are glorious. It has so much soul. Inevitably, after 30 minutes, my lower back gets tight, then my legs, and finally my right hip. The hip discomfort is what lingers longest after I ride. I also have to consider that my car was causing me similar discomfort. Now that has been eliminated, maybe I'll be able to tolerate riding the CB. Still, I fear this is wishful thinking.
