I saw someone at the Ace do this with their Airhawk and I thought I would do the same. For those that have the Airhawk the straps aren't the greatest and the seat tends to move on the bike. I dropped this off to my local Upholsterer for and for a £10 I had velcro sewn to the bottom of the Airhawk. You need about 210cm of velcro which I got from John Lewis. The upholsterer used a fabric tacking gun to secure some velcro underneath the seat. Tack in some velcro under the seat and run some straps across the seat. Presto Airhawk goes on like a treat and stays in place while on the bike. Very useful if you are nipping into a petrol station and you can rip the seat off very quickly and reapply with the gloves on. When you are not using the Airhawk velcro straps can be removed from the bike. When your touring the straps stay attached to the seat. The Airhawk certainly does what it says on the tin and wish I got one sooner.

Did a 140 mile run yesterday and it worked a treat. Took a bit of adjusting on when to put the seat on the velcro straps but now consistent everytime.
