I picked up the RalleyRunner seat on FRI and did 210mi solo and 113mi two up over the weekend and ouch, ouch my a** is still tender as I sit at my desk typing this.. I'm 5'7" 127lbs my Girli on the two up is 5'4" 104lbs. Upon opening the box and handling the seat my first impressions are wow this is a nicely constructed seat. Putting it on the bike it gives it a frame hug profile on the front and has nice round cup on the rear for a slightly wider grab on the buttocks. But make no mistake this seat is a hard a** punisher for the rider and slightly more comfortable with a documented 27mi extended ride time for the passenger. All this worth $369?! I do like the looks and the moved back aggressive riding position on the drag bars but I don't think I can take it out again. Oh well, $$ for R&D continues. What should I try next. I'm prepared to try them all if that's what it takes.. :(

PS I'm not going for the Sundowner due to it's grotesque size.. oooo but I bet it sure is roadcouch comfy!

You might try riding some more with it. Sometimes it takes a while for the seat to become accustomed to the butt.

I have a Sundowner and it is MUCH more comfy than the stock 2-up seat on my Roadster. I can do hundreds of miles and my a$$ never gets sore..
