So uh, is it just the way im sitting on this thing or for the rest of you do you guys end up scooched forward on the seat with your nuts sandwhiched between you and the gast tank cover? I reposition myself when i remember to but somehow always end up in the sandwhich position.

its not a cruiser, you just cant sit back n ride lol. Use your legs more to support youself along with back n abs, and dont use your arms. Should be able to flap them like chicken wings while riding n it not upset the bike.

yea that makes more sense then wearing a jockstrap or cup while riding. Haha, the worse was during bumpy roads, it felt like i was teabagging a jackhammer.

Yeah this is an issue most of us have I think. Its a gravity thing the bike does throw you forward on the seat. The best thing to do is lose some of the ballast from the area in question. This can be done by your partner / girlfriend wife whatever before a ride or in certain circumstances a diy job may do the trick with the assistance of a glossy manual if required.

Have fun either way

I must be too tall... lol... I'm the exact opposite. My *** is always against the back of the seat, up again the upward part of tail (I'm sure there is a name for this, but it eludes me at this early morning, pre-breakfast, red bull, hour). Actually ended up cracking this part of tail on other bike cause I'm always up againt it.

I too have the smashed goods issue but I must say that after riding my brothers Harley for a couple days I will deal with the smashing. On the Harley the issue is worse as the wind flaps your sack around in your jeans and they begin a game of tether ball between the tank and your leg. For example take both hands and flick one side of the sack repeatedly. NOT KEWL!!! Dont ride Harleys.

Not that I needed another reason not to ride a harley, but I'll add it my list.

I use stomp grip traction pads on my '08. This helps alot especially when you use your knees to hold onto the bike. I am thinking about changing my seat as well to maybe a corbin or sargent. Anyone using an aftermarket seat?
