Does anyone else have that annoying squishing problem?

I've been on my FJ for a couple weeks now and really like it. Still sorting out an idle issue but Randy has been a great help.
But there's something that is causing me a little... uh... discomfort.
The way the seat is designed, the family jewels are squashed up against the front of the seat.  It's a Corbin seat.
After I get off the bike, a couple things are a little sore.
I would think on a long ride, this would become a major issue.
Anyone else having this problem? Any ideas?

OMG just died laughing   :sarcastic:
That like wooden seat is crazy funny, I have not gotten to ride mine yet but from just sitting on it I noticed that a little. I agree though thats why they made files to you can peel the leather up and file it down to how you like.

Have someone reshape your seat like this:



I thought about cutting a couple of strategically placed holes in the front of the seat...

If you are having this problem on a Corbin then you are not using the throttle properly. My Corbin has a comfy amout of room in front when the throttle is twisted and the Kookaloo hump is preventing me from sliding off the back of the bike.....  :rofl2: :rofl2: :rofl2:

On the odd occasion I ride in jeans I have noticed similar discomfort. They are simply not cut for the riding position on a bike and have no give. I mostly ride in synthetic gear. The pants look ill fitting when standing up but are cut to be comfortable in the riding position with zero restriction around my waist and no 'adjustments' required even when riding from dawn til dusk.
