RS Gel seat pad

[SPYD1]

I am thinking of purchasing a seat (GEL) pad to extend my ryding time (sore butt) between stops during long trips. Does anyone have a style, source...any recommendation?

Alaska Leather--Sheepskin butt pad. Can be ordered with or without gel pad.

Airhawk Cushion: no gel but air. Order from Dennis Kirk for best price and reasonable shipping.

I have an Airhawk but it made me feel like I was rolling all around on the seat....even with just a tiny bit of air in it.

On lots of 'super slab' riding it would probly work fine but not so well in the twisties.

I removed it, will use it on the tractor this summer.

I went with the Air Hawk and had no issues .

What size AirHawk cusion does the RT take. AirHawk couldn't tell me.

Check out "Longeride.com". I've been pretty satisfied with it (it's called "Freedom Air Motorcycle Cushion"). It runs about $180 but has been worth it to me.

The 'Freedom Air Motorcycle Cushion" at "Longeride.com" claims to be about 70% effective as opposed to the Airhawk which is supposed to only be 25% effective. Everybody is a little different but the Freedom Cushion is the best I've run across.

I bought the medium size. It fits the drivers seat perfect.

I have a AirHawk R Cruiser which fits perfectly on my RT.
The key is proper air inflation so you don't feel like your rolling around on it.
It takes a bit of experimenting but once you get it, it's very nice.

Shop around but here's link to it.

I'm not quite sure what 75 and 25% refers to effective 75% of the time, 75% satisfaction??????

Medium Cruiser. If they don't have a listing, just measure your seat and match up to the size listed, that will fit it best.

According to an article found on the longeride website, the Freedom Air Cushion is 75% more effective then a stock seat versus the Airhawk, which is only 25% more effective.

I was going to purchase an Airhawk until I found this thread and read about the Freedom Air cushion. I found one available on eBay for $127.49 (free shipping) and am thinking I will pull the trigger tonight.

Anyone else have a Freedom Air cushion who can provide some feedback?

Something to maybe try. Go to Wally world and buy a ATV cushion made by Coleman. They run around $20.00 bucks. The way they are made it lets air circulate under the butt and they also sit real nice too. My wife has one on her Spyder and I have one on my Valkyrie.

We tried the gel pro pad which was comfortable for cool weather riding. Hot summer riding with a gel pad is another story as it will make you sweat a nice big wet spot on your pants. We now use the air hawk cushions. The medium cruiser (14 x14 ) fits the front Corbin very well while the pillion required the
standard cruiser (18 x12 ). The freedom air cushion looks great. I like the open design in the front which would be more comfortable on private parts. The air hawk is great but that would be my only complaint, it seems the front of the cushion sometimes gets in the way requiring some re-positioning. Very little air is needed to be comfortable, too much and you will roll around on top.
