Hi, Just bought a W-reg 1150GS and love it. But... The standard seat's a bit on the hard side on longer runs so what do you suggest? Get a gel implant in the seat or buy an Airhawk? I can't afford an expensive replacement seat.

I was in the same boat as you all be it with a 1100 gs and I ended up buying a secondhand original Airhawk off this site and have never looked back.
I just stuck up a wanted ad and had the airhawk in my hands within 3 days. Cost me £90 delivered.
Hope this helps Tom

I had this problem 65000 miles ago and brought a Corbin blooy rip off, but is comfortable. Beware though these are wide at the front and can help you feet not reach the ground but a s/h one would be a good bet soon flog it.

+1 for Airhawk. Not oly is it it comfortable but you can take it with you if you ever sell the bike and put it on your new bike.

Went down the gel insert route, ended up with an Airhawk
Airhawk
Just posted a 'Wanted' thread for an Airhawk in which I asked for advice on size and also if the budget model is adequate or the premium, at twice the money, is worth the extra. Should have asked you lot first I guess! Anyway - advice please? Large or medium? Budget or premium (though there doesn't seem to be a budget Large anyway)?

My budget budget solution is a sheepskin with an inflatable camping cushion under it, its filled with exactly the same kind of air as an airhawk 
Good for all day now.

Lee - I have had an airhawk on my 1150 for last couple of years (underneath a sheepskin, and with a gel seat) - medium, budget version. They say they cannot be repaired but after a puncture mine has had a couple of bicycle repair 'leeches' on it for the last year and still does not leak.
Just done 2700 miles over the past week, sargent seat is ace

I'd suggest that if you want to use it for the summer holiday then the budget one will be fine - but if you do regular long distance riding it is a false economy.
When I got mine there was no 'medium' - the large works fine though
