it actually wasn't so much my ass as it was more my legs and arms... 1" lower than stock drag bars and stock badlander seat... not exactly a touring setup. :)

Re: How to ride 4000 miles on a Night Train...

Wife has 25,000 miles on her Nightrain. It has lapped the Grand Canyon twice, once clockwise, once counter-clockwise. A lap of Arizona, Nevada, and Utah. Stock seat, but we are on her 3rd set of bars and pegs. She loves her Psycho-Chubbies. 9 inch rise, 4 inch pull back. Kuryatkin (or however you spell it) pegs and heal rests.

On the way to the Grand Canyon the first time (counter-clockwise run)

I have a "Justified Defiance" solo saddle I call it the torture chamber. If I have to ride more than 50 miles, I alternate between the forward controls and the passenger pegs. Its the only way to change positions on a seat that is only 13" long. For trips much over 100 miles, I switch to the ugly pillow top.

Passenger pegs are also great for standing up to stretch your legs when you don't want to stop!
