I have an 08 Fatboy with a standard seat and on long trips suffer sore *** numbness no doubt like most of us do. I have a 2 up badlander aswell and thats even worse. So Im wondering how good an Air Hawk or something similar is to reduce the numbness. I do have a sheepskin I place on my seat which improves the comfort without doubt but I find I still get numb after a couple of hours riding.
Any thoughts?????anyone.

 

I bought an Air Hawk last year. It works better than anything else I've tried, even an after market seat...I can't ride a lot longer before the butt pain sets it...eventually it will set in on me whatever the situation but the Air Hawk makes it a lot better..good luck.

 

There is a post in the sportster section on airhawk seats.
I had one for my Heritage. Used it on a couple rides and sent it back.
It set me up to high if I put enough air in it to get it to do any good and if I deflated it to a comfortable height, I may as well not had it. It just got in my way. Some like them, some don't!

 

thanks for your comments ridgerunner. I agree with the fact that the numbness sets in after a certain time and nothing helps except a 20min break somewhere when out riding.

I here what you are saying about setting you up to high old dude, even my sheepskin sets me up a little.

i think I'll stick with my sheepskin and save myself the dollars. Air hawks are expensive in Oz.

cheers

 

I bought a airhawk last year and while it helps I don't think its worth the $.

 

I like mine on an 09 Ultra. I've had it since August 09 and have had to play around with the level of inflation. I have to put a lot of air into it, and yes it does raise me a bit, but I don't mind. I got mine here www.rlmotorcycles.com, for $130 on sale.

 

I would try a Mustang seat.

 

I bought one and don't use it anymore. I found that it may help for awhile, but eventually I still get the sore butt. It just got in my way. I use the sheep skin and it helps nearly as much.

I've been told that they work best with very little air in them.

 

mmmm will google a mustang seats and check them out.

cheers for all your thoughts.

it seems to ride our iron horses we must endure not only some(a lot) idiot drivers butt some pain too

 

just had a look at the mustang - One-Piece Extra Wide Regal Duke seat.
Looks comfy I must say.
