Airhawk pads

[Blowzorn]

OK I'm 99% decided this is the way to go for added comfort.
Can anybody tell me which are the best sizes for fitting front and back to an adventure seat.
Any pictures would be appreciated.

Thanks in advance

i bought the medium size, 14" - 14" (36 x 36cm).
this fits my low seat quite well, i made some small hooks to keep it in place when getting on and off the bike. only bad point is it raises the seat height a little. numb bum now sets in after 3hours in the saddle instead of 1hour. it did take a bit of setting up, reguarding the amount of air and position on the seat.
did 360miles a few days ago, my butt only ached for the last 50ish, no way could i even think of that distance on the standard low seat.

It does take a bit of playing around to get the right amount of air and I also bought some shock cord and a couple of small hooks to stop me kicking it into a muddy puddle when I get on the bike but I wouldn't do a long journey without it.

Worth every penny (as long as you're not thinking of buying the cheap and nasty ones)

Just to helpfully contradict other advice...

I have the large sizes for both rider and pillion and find this works best for me.

Ive the large size, trippled the length of time i can sit on the bike without squirming.

I think mine is a large cruiser (oo er missus).

Definitely recommended but it does take a bit of experimentation to get the right amount of air. Too much and you sway about all over the place, too little and it doesn't do its job. I'd suggest using it at home to get the right amount of air. The interesting thing is that once you've got the air right it never seems to need reinflating (well at least mine hasn't and it's been used every day for a couple of months).

Im using a cruiser large on the front & a cruiser medium on the back. I cant praise the Airhawk enough. No more sore arse, back ache or shoulder pains since using the Airhawk, but the longer saddle time gives my vocal chords a hard time. Wrap your legs round my engine cos tramps like us, baby we were born to run.

Agreed.

I've only needed to adjust mine in really extreme weather. Bike left out overnight in the snow results in more air needing to put in and bike left out all day in baking southern French sun results in some air needing to be let out. But I've only adjusted it twice in a year and a half

Cheers Guys

Thanks for all the replies.
I'm going to go with the cruiser medium on the back for Mrs Blow just for now.
My Rhino hide @rse wouldn't know what to do if I started treating it nice. ;-)
