With the exception of the Low seat or something custom I've tried every seat available for the Uly (06, corbin, 07). Either my knees dont like the seat or my tailbone region becomes numb making anything more than a 60 min ride painful.

So i'm thinking about putting a TT tail on the bike. I'll make sure to sit one first at the dealer to see if it will help or not before ordering parts.

Has anyone here had some serious seat time on both bikes?

Yeah - I have - but I rate the '06 seat amongst the most comfortable I have used on a bike.

Chris:

If you like the TT seat, check this thread:

Maybe Steve will make you a deal on his left-over TT tail section.

I think Budc may already have that TT tail.

I'm sure you'll be able to find someone to swap with, even just based on the popularity of Steve's "Uly-bolt" project.

When I ride long distances, my brain goes numb.

What does that mean?

"When I ride long distances, my brain goes numb. "

My brain's number 24/7. What's that mean?

I believe they are referring to the mass of otherwise useless gray matter that fills and holds out the form of Ft_b's skull so that he can wear a helmet.

It means that you don't do enough riding. My advice is for you to take a trip to someplace like Duluth or Tierra del Fuego.
