[QUOTE="DaBear, post: 1330568, member: 89885"] I thought this thing was supposed to be a long distance ride. More than a 100 miles and I'm done. I have a 2010 FJR1300A. I bought it because it had low miles and everything I read said it was a great long distance rider. I finally have the numb hands thing fixed. Big, oversized, gel grips, bar weights and $100 Alpinestar gloves and I my hands dont go numb But my butt! I have tried an AirHawk but that did nothing. Next I tried scooching the bars up and back with a Heli Bars kit. That helped the lower back but my sit bones really ache after that 100 mile marker. I should tell you I am 6'5 and 300#. Upper body feels ok but my legs and butt really are struggling with this bike. Not sure if a Russell Day Long seat is the answer. Not willing to spend the $800 bucks if this is the wrong bike. Can I even do high way pegs on this bike? I really want to just go all day but gotta get some comfort first. [/QUOTE]
