If you have the Harley circulator pads, the Velcro from the front pad and the Velcro from the rear pad hook together. The elastic at the front goes under the nose of the seat and your asses hold the pads in place. Can't speak to the other similar pads. The circulator pads are worth the money.

I got mine, and in comparing them against the P&A part, there IS a difference. The HD pads are heavier and a bit thicker, and lay on the seat better. Are the P&A pieces a hundred bucks better? Don't know. We are gonna use ours for the first time today.

Yesterday we were at a HOG meeting when the skys opend up and it poured for over two hours before the storm finally passed by. The pads were on the seats and got soaked as did everything else. Shook off the excess water as best as possible and then proceeded to go on a quick 50 mile ride out, around and home before another black storm cloud cought up with us. Initially our butts got damp from the wet pads, but in about twenty miles they were dry. This just shows that they are working. Also tught me I need to carry a towel in the saddle bag for such occasions
.We both feel the pads are quite comfortable. Just short of a hundred miles today in temps in the 90's without the normal squirming from swamp butt that we had previously been doing after the first two hours. Yes these may be thiner than the H-D Pads. but the cost is significantly less, and yet they really do the job. I need to keep as close to the ground as possible, so I personally would not want them to be any thicker anyway.
As for laying on the seat, using the velcro attachments i've discussed previously, mine lay just fine and look like they belong.

My wife already had and loves her "Air Hawk" before I got to thinking/wanting the Circular Pad. However i hooked my Velcro straps to my hand strap. Which I also have my heated gear plug zipped tied to on the side. Not like we have ever used the hand strap for what it's made for but I use it now for every thing else. My wife likes her air-hawk pad because she moves it around etc. plus I also put the taller floorboard brackets on. Which was well worth the $ because she rides so much better if anyone is flirting with buying them.
I've been riding since I was 8, she has been riding since our 1st date
30+years latter we're fixing to head to Milwaukee we've been going every 5years since the 95th.
Maybe we need a thread about hooking up drinking a beer meeting others from the forum .

Frank, we rose about an hour today with results similar to yours. Yeah, it doesn't cover all of our Led Zeppelin seat like the Harley one would, but it worked fine. I used double sided tape to align it better. Quite satisfied. Thanks for the tip.

OK, I popped the half a buck to purchased this from the above listed link:
The rider pad comes with a elastic band that goes around the narrow end of the seat, but only has some short straps with velcro toweard the rear of the pad. The passenger pad has only similar short straps with velcro toward the front.
Just wondering if any of you who have this type of seat pad know how they are "supposed" to attach to the seats? No instructions came with the pads.

That makes sense...but for many of us, that strap is generally the second thing that gets removed!

I bought the Harley pad Friday and I love it. Another one of those things I wonder why in the world I waited so long to get. Rode about 300 miles Saturday and can't believe how much difference the pad makes. I do like that the Harley pad grips the seat. It lays on there like it is part of the seat.

I solved the problem using velco fasteners but I'm wondering if I'm going to experience any problems with the velcro adheasive in the heat when riding.
After attaching the rider pad to the seat, I added some small 1" square velcro soft sides onto the rear of the seat and attached the short straps to them For the passenger seat pad I did the same thing, the 1" square soft sides attached to the front of the passenger seat that the short straps get attached to. I added one more velcro fastener (both halves, soft side attached to the seat) at the rear of the passenger seat to keeep the pad from flopping in the breeze when riding solo. When not riding 2 up I will just take the passenger pad off easily and put it in the saddle bag.
The rider seat had a tendency to shift sideways, especially when mounting so I added another two part velcro fastener on either side near the front. Now it stays in place.
I have only ridden with them in place for a short jaunt but I could actually feel the cool air under my butt. Will be giving it a more substantial test tommorow hoping it helps to keep my butt dry.
This is no longer available on EBAY but can be found at the following link "https://www.mutazu.com/collections/parts-for-harley/products/mutazu-circulated-driver-passenger-seat-cool-pads-pad-for-harley-hd-seats" It is now $59 for the rider and passenger pads. It ships free with no tax.

Just received my 3rd set for my new bike which I ordered off EBAY: https://www.ebay.com/itm/large-16-13...ef4d%7Ciid%3A1
Still $49 and you can get another 10% off right now if you follow a link that says "Show me how".
BTW, I just noted that they are called "Circulator-...." not "Circular-....." in the link above. Makes a difference when you do a search.
I think the EBAY links must change now and then.
