I bought a 2003 883 Hugger a few weeks back. Driving home 150 miles on
it was rough! It was such a literal pain in the butt that I had to
stop four times. And the vibration was so bad I could barely read the
signs on the freeway. But the time I got home, thoughts of buyer's
remorse ran through my head.
I immediately bought a sundowner seat and, man, what a difference. I
can ride for ages and the gas tank gives out before my butt does. And
I can read the road signs again. There's still some vibration in the
handlebars and footpegs, but so what... it's a dang steel-mounted
sporty. Buyer's remorse is gone!

What a difference a seat can make.
