Suggestions for passenger gel seat on Road King Classic? (ride, ABS, riding)

[andreaspercheron]

Hi All!!

Regarding our HD Road King classic, while I LOVE being the passenger my butt does not love me after a LONG ride. I have noticed that I get the numb butt syndrome LOL and my hips are kind of sore. I wanted to know if any of you use any kind of gel seat and which ones really do the job. Also, would wearing different boots with better shock absorption help??

Also, I know you can pump up the seat and we've already done that which did help a lot.

Suggestions are greatly appreciated!!!

I await the answer on this one too. We bought a RoadKing but the passenger seat was a big factor in why we didn't go with the classic.
I've seen the gel seats but haven't talked to anyone who actually has one.

I've seen some suggestions on the HD Forum but, I really want to hear from someone actually using one now with great sucess. That's funny about the Road King and Classic, we rented the non classic and rode it from PA to CT and I have to admit, I was a little more comfie on the non classic, but not overly so. I just need a lil more cushion under my tushy then I think I'll be good.
I also looked into and found some boots specifically designed for riding but moreso for added shock absorption, they are about $90.
