[Huggy]

Wife says that maybe you should have the offending parts removed!

[Bubber]

Do you know the difference between pink and purple ?

My bad!

I've seen lots of good answers already. I've had my upholstery guy rework the seats on both Ventures. He cuts out a "pocket" in the front of the seat, just enough to let things ride better. He said this was also a big complaint he got from guys with HD touring bikes. You could probably do the same, just peel the seat cover back and trim the foam a little at a time until it "fits".

Thanks, buddy. I think I'm like a lot of guys when I say that anything having to do with "upholstering" scares the crap out of me. It's just something about getting the fabric to lie straight/flat and getting all the staples, rivets or whatever the heck holds it in place.....just gives me the heebie-jeebies!

 

Maybe I should set my wife loose on it; she recovered all our dining room chairs once....didn't seem to phase her a bit!

Your wife has either a) a VERY good sense of humor......or b) NO sense of humor! :-)

Here's a thought. This might be a bit less embarrassing [sp?] than the below mentioned option. It would depend on how you gentlemen wear your shirts. Find a men's crew or possibly calf length tube sock [the Hubby has dozens of them], cut a slice in the top, insert the family jewels, and drape the top of the sock either over the top of your briefs or the waistband on your pants. When getting on the bike, pull the sock up raising the aforementioned items, and go on your merry way. Just a bit less noticeable than to be seen sticking your hand down your pants in mixed company!

And if you honestly think that us girls don't read every post in this crazy place, you're nuts!

 

Thanks to everyone who has responded........especially YOU, Mike. I had just visited a buddy in hospital an hour and a half away and the trip there was no picnic. So in preparation for the trip home, I decided I'd loosen my belt, reach down low, grab a handful of manhood....and just "park" everything as high up as I could before hitting the road. (Sorry to be graphic.....but don't imagine too many women are following this thread!) Low and behold, things went much better with this "re-positioning" exercise.
