This 'cruiser malarkey' is a bit howdie-doodie........
After 20-30 odd kays I find myself trying to grip the tank with my knees, or hangin' on for grim death to the bars :o 

You'll get used to it. No point doing anything for local commuting but an Airhawk could be beneficial for long distance country riding.

I too don’t like riding the Fatboys nor anything with footboards. Top of my legs get cramp and there’s lower back pain. 

I have a Mustang wide touring seat with rider back rest and it is so good for my butt, and the backrest takes a load off your hands and chest at highway speeds.  The back rest has eliminated me using my detachable windshield, and I can sit on that saddle for hours without an ounce of discomfort.  I used to have a stock seat on my Softail and had the same issues as you with the sore butt after 30-45 min.  Im 190cm, had extended reach forward controls, then standard forward controls and now floorboards, and I am most comfy with the floorboards, so each to their own.

sundowners are a good comfortable seat ,not great in appearance with the fat pillion pad, but 10/10 on the long haul,4600km to burliegh heads and back did me well.

If you’re doing long rides and getting a sore arse, you gotta change your seat. Good looking seats are rarely comfortable for long rides and comfy seats rarely look good. Gotta find a compromise of have a couple of seats to change up. For comfort I’ve used the harley sundowners which are good. And the mustang touring seats and lastly the Corbin seats which I reckon are the best but you pay for what you get and Corbin uses leather so it breathes better as does your arse on a long hot day of riding. I recommend getting one with a detachable backrest which are awesome for long rides 

HArden the fark up yah girls blouse!  and buy the friggin seat - I did and it make day trips just that more enjoyable.

I was getting a sore lower back after an hour into the ride I got a Harley tall boy seat on my 18 b/out Handled better and was a lot better on the back 

I've got a Sundowner dual seat but I found it set me back a bit and being a shortarse that's no good. It's virtually new. It fits my 2011 Deluxe. Not sure if it will fit your bike but if you're interested it is for sale at $220 plus postage. Send me your mobile number and I'll send you a pic. I'm in SA.Cheers.

Well i'm loving my saddleman seat also

I don't know mate, I've never had a brit bike, always ridden Harley or dirt bikes.

They are all different, as are we. I have a '98 Road King with forward controls, HD Pillow Look Touring Seat and a rider backrest. Wouldn't have it any other way. Had to get rid of the footboards when I had both knees replaced. Yeah, I'm Bionic Man.

Any excuse to show us the bike SDMF!!

I would never install air suspension unless I wanted the gimmick of raising it up and then dumping it on its arse for looks, which isn’t my style. 

Where did you get a cvo seat for the ultra from jj? 

Sorry. Thought you had the POV pack like mine.
