Airhawk Info. Please.

[Racer]

Does anyone have the large pillion airhawk fitted to their 1150 Gs ?
Need to try one as the wife has a damaged coccyx which limits running time to 40 miles which is not good.
I live just south of Stratford upon Avon and would be grateful to try one.

Any one else had this problem resolved with one ?
Is the small pillion the better fit ?
Will it fit on the 1200 pillion ?
Do I need to abandon her in a service station/ditch ?

Any help/info would be appreciated.

Thanks,

Rich.

I have been using the medium Airhawk on my bike for a 15k+ miles and find it very comfortable. First used on a tour of Norway where I was doing consistent 300-400 mile days for 2 1/2 weeks. Very once felt saddle sore & have left it on the bike ever since. The beauty of Airhawk is that you can easily adjust the amount of air & cushioning effect, and it is transferrable between bikes (unlike expensive custom saddles).

I fix my Airhawk to the frame rails with a couple of velcro ties which you can get in Ikea electrical for pennies; they are meant as cable ties.

Airhawk do a cheaper verision for £70 which is what I use. If you don't like it, easily sold again on e-bay.

My wife has used the large pillion Airhawk for the last couple of years on a GS 1150 and 1200 and never had a moments problem. We've just finished 4500 miles up to Nordkapp, down to St. Petersburg and back through Holland. Not one ache

I've got the medium for me and the smaller one for the pillion. We used it last year on a 5000 mile trip to Eastern Europe. Excellent comfort.

You can borrow it to try it out if you are down my way. Send me a pm.

Cheers guys,

will try the camping option then probably move onto the Airhawk.
Would still like to try one first, perhaps a trip down to the retailers is in order.

Thanks again,

Rich.

Rich - Airhawk do a full money back guarantee. You just need to keep the packaging. Speak to Les from TravelDri-Plus who will give you good advice. It's a no-risk way of trying it.

I have the large pillion pad on my 1150 and it's got the thumbs up from my pillion over several thousands of miles. Don't know about the 1200, but I think it should be just as good. I'd happily lend you mine - but it's in constant use
