I have a Danny Gray Airhawk Longhaul on my 14 Limited. It replaced a '14 Hammock that I rode 4,000 miles on. The Hammock never caused any *** pain, but the seat edges & my inner thighs just didn't get along. That seat also was a bit tight on the jewels too. The DGAL is great; pump up the bladder, sit the saddle & then release air little by little until the "sweet spot" is found. Very comfortable & if it gets a bit uncomfortable, a couple pumps or a little release changes the pressure points & all is well again. The wife loves this seat.

As Hammz said. I have a Danny Gray Longhaul on my 14 Ultraclassic. Best seat I've ever had on any bike.

Do you know if it's adaptable to a back rest? I can't find any info on the site.

I'm still trying to decide between a Danny Gray Airhawk and a Hammock, now I see this IST...

Ok air hawk seats are made of two different substances, the cheaper version is polyurethane and the more expensive is neoprene. The former I understand cannot be repaired where the latter can if punctured.

What material does Danny Gray use?

There are 2 versions of the Longhaul; one has no backrest capability, the other one has a backrest recepticle built in that uses a DG backrest, similar to the Corbin design.

They sell two different backrests on their site....a short and a standard version. A bit on the pricey side though.

I've never been a fan of backrests - I've ridden bikes that have them & just don't care for them. As for the Longhaul, it is available with a backrest socket, but I got the version w/o the backrest socket because I'll never use one.

I have been unable to locate any information/reviews of their IST seats. I'm am about to pull the trigger on a long haul XL because it looks damn good with great reviews. I also emailed Danny Gray and never received a response.
