Author Message   Kenny_v Posted on Monday, September 12, 2005 - 10:18 am:        Question fellow Buellers , Had a Fantastic ride yesterday with a great bunch of Guys in Northern Jersey the Xb12 was magnificent only one problem , after 200 miles MY BUTT WAS KILL'N ME !!! Anyone out there have any suggestions ??? Different seat , special Pants ? Any input would be great .... Thanks   Midknyte Posted on Monday, September 12, 2005 - 10:31 am:        There are different / upgrade seats available at Buell.com ...   Brucelee Posted on Monday, September 12, 2005 - 10:38 am:        Corbin! American Sport Bike sells them.   Dr_greg Posted on Monday, September 12, 2005 - 01:55 pm:        I bought the Buell "touring seat" when I bought my XB9R in July 2002 and it is quite a bit more comfortable than the stocker. Puts you up a little higher (since it has more padding, duh) which interferes a little (for me, maybe not for you) with the "feel" of the bike. But for long rides well worth it. Corbin may be better/worse, YMMV.   Cataract2 Posted on Monday, September 12, 2005 - 02:24 pm:        The stock seat the comes on the XB9SX (Street fighter seat I think) is really good except that it doesn't breath. So... Over time you get monkey butt.   Madsx Posted on Monday, September 12, 2005 - 03:55 pm:        Stocker on the SX is the Skyline and I agree on the monkey butt but it is comfortable. You tend to slide from back to front a bit on stopping because it is flat. Thinking about the new Select Seat with the gel.   Metalstorm Posted on Monday, September 12, 2005 - 11:57 pm:        I've heard bicycle shorts (worn under your riding pants) work really well for long rides. Extra support goes a long way.   Nutsosane Posted on Tuesday, September 13, 2005 - 03:48 am:        I use bicycle shorts that have a padded "chamois" built in. Also sprang for the corbin from American Sport Bike. I cannot say enough about that seat. The new select seat is also due out but I don't think anyone has been able to test it out versus the corbin.

I may spring for the seat but as vertically challenged as I am , I'm not sure that's the way to go for me unless I find someone out there with a low model that is willing to trade for standard suspension .......   CJXB Posted on Tuesday, September 13, 2005 - 09:53 am:        I've heard bicycle shorts (worn under your riding pants) work really well I know a couple of guys who wear them riding AND love to show them off, think there's a pic somewhere posted of their asses !!   CJXB Posted on Tuesday, September 13, 2005 - 10:12 am:        These guys are Proud of their bike shorts with the gel padding for their soft tushes !!   Fullpower Posted on Tuesday, September 13, 2005 - 03:25 pm:        get a CORBIN saddle. i dont know anyone doing thousand mile a day rides on a buell without them.   Metalstorm Posted on Tuesday, September 13, 2005 - 08:02 pm:        Well... being that you have a 12R, the Select seat, the Streetfighter seat & the Skyline seat are not options for you. They are for the S. The only seats other than stock for the Firebolt that I know of are the Buell touring seat & the Corbin Firebolt seat. CJXB, that's too funny It's like a lunar eclipse to the power of two.   Jandj_davis Posted on Wednesday, September 14, 2005 - 10:38 am:        Has anyone ridden on the XBR option seat to have an opinion of it?   Garp Posted on Wednesday, September 14, 2005 - 01:24 pm:        I have the XBR Custom seat, and I honestly didn't like it. It is now back on the shelf. I found that sitting higher felt odd, so I went back to stock
