Need some extra padding for the old arese. without breaking the bank ($100 plus) what do you guys prefer?

 

Me and the wife ride on the HD pads for 12-14 hours with zero complaints. Keeps cool air on your *** and adds just enough cushion to keep the seat from bottoming out.

 

Air Hawk..got mine at the local Honda dealer for my wife...use just a touch of air and you're golden...

 

Another vote for Air Hawk. Just don't over inflate. It will be very unstable.

+1 on this. The wife and I have done over 2400 miles with these on the stock seat and no issues with the backside.

 

We just got back from a 2000 mile ride. Not one complaint from either of us about *** pain.

 

Air hawk for me and I agree do not over inflate. You put just enough air in them so that you have a gap between you and the seat. I only use mine in hot weather for preventing the monkey but issue and it works.

 

Ideally you want inflation just to the point where your butt just touched the seat through the pad. This will allow the air to transfer to different pressure point positions within the Air Hawk air chambers.

The first time i tried it, I did have it over inflated. Felt like I was going to fall off the seat.

I have an email folder for all bike related purchases but this is one I can't find, my pad purchase so can't say which one. It does however help considerably. Just a felt like covered gel pad and without it on one of the bikes I would not hardly be able to ride for more than 100 miles without a good long break for the butt.
