Default Airhawk Seat Cushion

Has anyone tried one of these? Like my seat but the passenger needs something better for trips. Don't want to change seats. The add sounds like it might be the thing but was just wondering if anyone out there has had any experience with one of these.

Yep, they work GREAT. A little pricey IMHO, but they do work. And you can just "deflate" it when you et where you are going and do short rides.then blow it back up, and you are good for the LONG trip home.

Got one and works great if your stock seat isn't comfortable. You'll have to tweak the amount of air to fit your needs. The only other thing is I've noticed that depending on outside air temperature, the internal air can inflate or deflate as it adjust from your garage temperature. Check ebay, I got a pretty good deal on mine there.

We have one. Biggest waste of money we ever spent. Got it for my wife in D.C. during Memorial Dayweekend last year. She tried it on the trip home to Northern New York. We were constantly stopping for her to adjust the air pressure trying to get it comfortable. About 1/2 way home the thing came off her seat and went in the saddle bag. I thought it can't be that bad so I tried it on a run. Could never get it adjusted comfortable; so threw it in a cabinet when I got home and it hasn't seen the light of day since. My wife says thestock seatis more comfortable than the Air Hawk. I had a sundowder seat on my bike and can say that it is more comfortable without the Air Hawk.

Airhawks work great but they're expensive.I use a small sheepskin cover on my seat.

I bought one for my wife - she loves it. I also have a sheepskin, but I haven't tried either one yet.

it took awhile to learn that a puff of air is all you need but once I figured it out. Just returned from Daytona and used it down and back worth every dime.

I had an Air Hawk. I'm sure they're great for some. After many adjustments, full, empty, half full, I sent mine back; made my gonads go to sleep. Suggest you check out www.airrider.com. Memory foam and gel pad. Works great for me. Comes in different sizes.
