I used to ride road race bikes and had a couple pairs - tried 'em on the FJR and they really didn't make much difference. I just ordered some "Wickers" skivvies to try - hope to reduce monkey butt!
Interesting, based on otheres recommendations, I have purchased several pair of the biking shorts and found they make a big difference in butt comfort on long distance rides for me. Especially if it's hot and there is a tendency to soak the nether regions with sweat.
I have found that the biking shorts that work best are the ones with a comfy "chamois" - one that does not have any stitching. Those are harder to find but pay big dividends in comfort.
Never hoid of your Saddlemen gel shorts Axeman. Looks like a similar concept to the bike shorts. How much are they? You might want to try a pair of the $30 bike shorts.
