Another Vote for the HD waffle pad. Significantly reduces swamp ***. Plus stop every 2 hours and walk around a bit. This is typically the time to stop for gas. If I push it to 3 hours.,,then my arss starts to hurt.

 

I need to try the air hawk, I bought the bead rider, doesn't help one bit

 

Plus 1 on that, especially the do not over inflate part. Over inflated mine before leaving the dealer and it was like being atop a beach ball. Just enough air to give you support works best.

 

Oops duplicate...

 

Air Hawk for sure. Best return on the dollar spent on my bike ever. Wish I could incorporate the Air Hawk inside the seat itself, maybe that's called a Road Zeppelin? Roll on.

 

I have a pad called the Butt Buffer. Www.buttbuffer.com. I also have the air hawk, but like this one better.

 

It's called a Danny Gray Airhawk.

Another vote for Air Hawk. Tried several, and it worked best for me and my nearly 300# A$$ (all me, not the wife...)

 

Air Hawk for sure - Airhawk first started as a solution for people who spend a lot of time in a wheel chair. They then expanded to offering to motorcycles. My wife has a bad back and this worked out great. As said before - don't overinflated.

 

Serious question.

Do those of you who use some sort of rider seat pad (gel or air) feel it inhibits in any way your ability to control the motorcycle? I mean as compared to sitting on the seat directly.
