I bought a 2012 with 8000 miles on it. Every GoldWing I've had before has served just fine in a mostly stock configuration. I have found that after about 100 miles on the 12 my butt starts feeling like it is on fire. Almost like the seat heaters are on. On my 07 I could easily do a 500 mile day without any major discomfort.
The only difference between this and my 07 is the material the seat is made of: like it is made of some kind of non-slip material. Assuming the seat is just as thick as my 07 and the problem isn't engine heat , I surmise the problem is my jeans are not sliding on the seat so my butt is creating friction heat build up between my underwear and jeans.
My question is will the seat eventually wear smooth ? I tried leather conditioner to no avail and am thinking about something like Armor All; anything to get me sliding on the seat more.
