Big Wheel
I have a 2008 C14 ABS that I have put about 10,000 miles on. I road it from MA to MD to CA and WA last year, but after this shipped it back east from Seattle to MA. The reason that I did not ride it back east was the uncomfortable seat and the excessive heat experienced above 85 degrees. My butt got so sore that I had to take some over the counter pain pills to make my Seattle destination. I am 6'-2", weigh about 295, and have a 30" inseam. I have not ridden the bike much since the cross country experience. However, I love the bike because of its power, speed and handling but am very down on the comfort in riding. Fortunately, I have other bikes to choose from that are much more comfortable but are not nearly as exhiliarating to ride.
Anyway, my questions are:
1. What have C14 riders done to improve seat comfort and how successful was what you did?
2. Anyone aware of a retro solution to the 2008 heat issue other than the "heat shields" for your feet and shins? :'(
