New Seat

Well I just spent Labor Day weekend on the 1150 GSA in the North Carolina mountains.

This is the first time on the new Rocky Mayer saddle and I am well pleased with the results.

I have a bad coxic bone[tail bone] and most saddles irritate it after about 100 miles. The stock GSA saddle was painful after 100 miles.

I had seen Rocky seats on some Iron Butt bikes and when I sat on them, they felt really good. However, just sitting on them isn't riding. Well, Friday, I put about 220 miles on the seat with no pain. It is really the best seat I've ever had on a bike. Rocky makes an effort to not have welting on his seams, as they cause irritation. His seams are flat and you can't feel them. He also relieved the area under the tail bone to stop that pressure point.

I haven't ridden it with my wife yet, so we will have to see if she likes the back seat.

Good news, but I wonder how does that look like? Do you have a pic, David? Many from overseas would not know this company. If you don't know how to post the pic into the Gallery, just send it to me.

The forum has a "1 photo only" limit when posted as attachment, in order to save forum space. The Gallery has no limit. I moved the photo over already.
