Old guy, heavyweights.....guys OVER 50, and OVER 260lbs...

Have any of y'all tried this Norman Hyde seat?
http://www.newbonneville.com/html/single_seat.html

Does anyone have a GOOD option for 350 mile day rideability? The foam in my seat is GONE! I have a sheep skin AND 1/2" dense foam pad on it now....but the OEM foam is flat on the pan in 25 miles.....

buttbuffer.com :-D ...or send rodburner a pm--he can tell you how to replace the foam with better foam or where to take your seat locally to get it rebuilt with better quality material. Rodburner is our ASH Master.

Kliff,I swapped an Airhawk cushion to Oldsport,who is taking a ride to California.He may be able to give us a real long ride evaluation.I think he will be home this weekend. The down side of the real comfortable seats like the K&Qs for bigger riders is the bucket aspect of them.No room to move if your big or tall. I`m hoping to get some input from Stevent on his new Corbin.He`s rather ominous in stature,and the Corbin is the epitome of bucketitis. Stay tuned.
