Hey i got a 08 V-Star 1100 silverado earlier this year. Bikes been great and quite comfy for commuting and day rides. But i recently took a multi day 2000km or so trip on it and although it worked flawlessly my rear was hurtin for days after i got back. Seams after 3hrs or so in the saddle my fat ass (just shy of 300lbs) has completely compressed the padding in the stock seat and that seat pan aint too comfy.
So i gona save up and get a aftermarket seat but figured id ask whats the better option for a guy with some heft to him. I know comforts subjective but im more asking wich seats have thinker or tuffer foam or padding??
Took a short ride on a 750 honda shadow with a mustang and it was super nice and comfy but being it was a short ride i dont know how well its padding would have held up.
My old bike i installed a SUPER stiff seat for the same problem and altough it was much better than the stock seat on that bike it was still quite painful to ride on after a few hrs in the saddle even with breaks. But that was a Very different bike so its not a very good comparison.
Thanx guys
