While riding, I sometimes slide forward against the tank, involuntarily depending on the turns. After a while the ride becomes unbearable cuz my boys are gettn crushed. Any ideas. I am wearing jeans when ride.

 

I have the same problem but it depends on what jeans I'm wearing. The tighter they are the LESS of this problem I have. I actually like to ride as close to the tank as possible I feel like I have the most control over the bike. Try tighter pants?

Yeah, it happens to me sometimes too.

For longer rides you could get bycicle shorts (with the built in padding) that you can put on under your jeans. It keeps the boys in place and keeps your butt from getting sore

 

+1 on the tight jeans theory.

Are you slowing down in the turns as opposed to speeding up or maintaining speed? I notice the boys getting abused if I don't squeeze the tank with my legs during braking, but during turns I tend to accellerate slightly so I never noticed.

 

i have the opposite problem, my boys keep squishing mah tank!

 

I had the same problem with my bike. I was most comfortable hiked up against the tank and it made it pretty uncomfortable. but i got a Corbin seat off ebay and it relaxed my *** position a bit. now i sit more towards the middle of the seat instead of up on the tank. problem solved.

 

the easy way to fix it would be to buy some stomp grip

 

As funny as it way sound, on a long ride or more vigorous ride, I will wear a jock strap under my Launch pants. Keeps everything nice and comfy. Just don't forget to powder the boys or the fumunda will kill ya.

 

Thanks for the replies. I will try the tighter jeans, although I am not a fan of them. Maybe a seat next season, but too much dinero right now

 

Try some boxer briefs instead of full out boxers, easier than wearing tighter jeans, definetly makes a difference. boxer briefs are just a bit tighter, not quite tighty whitey, but you can get some support if needed.
