Well the problem is both me and wife are tall ppl and seems the v-max while being a friggin blast to ride is kinda short for both of us and at 46 I'm not grown up enough to ride a Goldwing. So that being said I'm just trying to find a more comfortable and economical way of make our butts not go numb after about 100 miles. Thanks for any suggestions. I really like this forum all you guys seem really cool here. I have been on forums before for other bikes I have owned and didn't enjoy my time there. So thanks again.

MMmmm..... Well Monkey Butt doesn't sound like fun either, Any suggestions? My posterior end seems to fall asleep after about 100 miles.
I have a similar pad on my Rune for the longer distance stuff, but I placed one of those fake bear rug covers over it. FUGLY as all heck, but it keeps my delicate, fatazz comfy in the long hauls. My pad is similar to this one, only mine, at the time, did not come with it's own cover. (and not nearly as expensive as this one I quickly located on ebay just now.)

I had a factory option gel seat on a previous bike and it was HOT in the Texas sun. I put a sheepskin pad on in the spring/summer/fall and it was fine after that. The sheepskin also considerable reduced sweating and "monkey butt". Won't be getting a gel seat again unless someone figures out a way to reduce the heat gain from the sun.

How tall? I can tell you if the MAXGASSER will work , not work or just be to close for anyone butt you to tell (sometimes its just personal preference ), my trial seat is in Iowa right now.
I can also reshape your seat and recover with stock cover or make some "other" secret tricks to make the stock appearing seat more user friendly WITHOUT modifying the appearance at all.

When I was having my seat recovered I got the guy to cut it down lower and put in a slab of Gel, much like the one below. I've never had problems with long rides (except running out of fuel)

Anyone ever tried a chunk of memory foam? Seems like that would be the shiz!

If your a cheap bugger like me and a little adventurous, here are a couple of links you can check out for DIY. There is a DIY seat mod link on the Forum also just can't find it at the moment. Here are the links.
