Does anyone have the Airhawk Cruiser R Large and can confirm whether or not it sits completely flat on the 'base' of the touring seat (of a Road King) or whether it curves up the back of the seat too please?
Airhawk felt like sitting on a bubble when I owned one years back (not opposed to trying again down the road but....)

Propad works well. And the mesh circulates air- the monkey butt thing can be a ride killer.

I use an Airhawk R and love it! It is very comfortable, especially on long rides. Like the others said, they’re designed to use minimal air pressure. If you put too much air in, I find it uncomfortable. Mine also sits flat on the seat and doesn’t move at all. On my standard Limited seat, it only raises me a little. When I take the tour pak off and use a Street Glide seat, I add a little more air since the SG seat is lower and I like the standard seat height. Just play with the air pressure a little until you find the sweet spot. Between the Airhawk and a backrest, I can ride all day, even with lower back problems.
