Air Hawk or Sheep Skin
I need a little help for the old tailbone on long rides and am debating on what I need. I've seen threads on the Airhawk & Alaska Leather Sheep Skin Pads. What's you opinions ??

I have both...I start with the airhawk when i leave because it relieves the pressure and later in the day i put it away and just use the skin...Many opinions but your own but will give you the answer..the sheepskin is good to keep the heat and also a lot of folks use the beads??? never have but they sell a lot of them...Gel pads also sell good..if you are like a lot of folks you will try so much crap until you find the perfect match to your butt....A good seat is part of the key...Do you have a backrest...if your tail bone is what hurts then a foam/gel pad with the coxxyx cut out may be best for you...good luck....

I have an AirHawk that has been great on a Kawasaki Vulcan; so I highly recommend that option; but I recently replaced my Vulcan with an '09 Ultra and the Airhawk would raise me too high. There have been rave reviews on other HD forums about Mean City Cycles; they will redo you existing seat to your specs. This is how I am going to go this time around.

Give Corbin a call. They should be able to correct that at (maybe) no charge to you. I have the same seat and have no such problem even thought I had the exact problem on a stock FXSTC seat in the past. My Corbin Classic Solo with backrest is very comfortable but I am thinking about getting a sheepskin for these triple digit days. I had a sheepskin in an old corvette and it made the seats feel much cooler.

I did order a sheepskin pad from Alaska Leather so should get it in a couple of days and I'll give it a try. They have a 30 day money back guarantee so if that doesn't help I'll send it back and go another route.
