LOL...and people say they are not smart...right:)

Well, I know definitly that I have a major problem:(. I'm almost 100% sure my saddle does not fit Harley real well, and if I continue to use it I'm going to sore him up. I'm not sure why with the new pads it's really showed up, I was hoping they would help, but it's real clear now the saddle isn't right. I've had suspicions for a while.

I've noticed I have trouble keeping it centered when I ride, it has always seemed to kind of roll. I asked my son to take a look at it awhile back. We set it on him with no pad so we could see how it looked. It seemed fine, so I quite worrying about it and figured it was just me not sitting good. About a week before I got the new pads I noticed when grooming him that he had a spot on one side of his whithers that seemed like he was developing a skin fungus or something. You know it was crusty and the hair brushed out in clumps. The skin looked fine, nice and pink, not red or flakey, so I still wasn't worried. But the two times I've ridden him with the new pads it's been clear that he has dry spots on either side of his whithers when I pull it off and the spot where I thought he had some fungus or something is in the center of the dry spot.

So does anyone know what to do about this problem, other then buying a new saddle:(, I really don't want to have to do that....I've been told more pads, or different pads won't really help.

I may run him over to the saddle shop and have them take a look at it with it on.
