"Do your balls hang low, do they wobble to and fro,
Can you tie 'em in a knot, can you tie 'em in a bow,
Do you take them through the brambles where a rabbit wouldn't go,
Do your balls hang low?"

Heh, heh, heh. Old sailor chanty.

I will be looking for a after market seat (Gen1) before the summer is over.\

Inexpensive solution = Seat Concepts. Mine lasted for over 30,000 miles before it finally wore out.

Inexpensive? 30k miles aint much.

[Uncle Hud]

It kinda is for a solution that cost less than $200.

Welcome to the forum! Seat concepts owner here with 20k miles on it. It's much better than stock and I can do 500 mile days on it, but my trips are starting to stretch longer and I am finding myself hoping a Russell day long for my weight will pop up in the classified section sometime soon.

^^^ Pay attention to my friend, Baowow.

The days of snake oil are long gone. You can do the watuci dance if you want. Send smoke signals. Meditate. Try a bunch of cheap fixes: airhawk, sheepskin, butt beads, …. you name it.

Or you can take a deep breath, exhale, and tell yourself that you are going to buy a custom motorcycle saddle that is made for your special arse and is made by someone that knows what they are doing. It's going to be expensive. It's going to take weeks out of your riding pleasure while it is being made.

But when it's done, it's done. And all will be well with the world....

Hey - don't hate me 'cause ya ain't me. Come over - the water is just fine.....

What part wore out. The stitching or the material ?

Stitching and vinyl were still in excellent condition. The padding got packed down and became a little harder. Was still good for four-hour days and my commute, but not workable for the longer days gathering BMR points.
