Well, I finally got my cushion and got it all setup for just the right feel. At least it's the right feel while sitting still. Hopefully will be able to ride Friday and Saturday and will really be able to try it out.

I want to thank DDKing and others that suggested this and for DDKing suggesting that it be turned backwards. It's amazing the added comfort that gives when it supports your thighs!!

Don'tchaknowit. Keep experimenting with different levels of air 'til you find out how much/little you like. Or as one said, start out high and keep letting it out throughout the ride. Enjoy.

I used an Airhawk extensivly on my Valkyrie for long trips and loved it. I really could not part with it. I found that less is more when it comes to air but like to bleed it a little at a time while riding too.

Airhawk Cusion Size

I've been thinking seriously about an Airhawk myself, so I would like to ask a few questions:
(1) What size best fits the Wing? I see one that is about 18-1/8" x 14-3/8". Is that the right one?
(2) With enough air in it to be comfortable, does it add much height to the seat? I can just barely sit flat footed with the stock seat.
(3) Can you blow it up with your mouth, or does it take a small pump?

TIA.

Bill,
1. The Large Cruiser is the size you want and I think those are the dimensions.
2. About 1/2" ro 3/4" for me. I will probably adjust this more to find out exactly where I like it though.
3. Yes. NO pumps! Just inflate and deflate until you get where you want.

It is a great product. The price is scarey to me, but it is worth it now that I have ridden it this afternoon.

Bill,

Airhawk recommends very little air, almost none, so it won't lift you very much at all if used as directed. Some of us can't follow instructions though. :lol: :lol: :lol:

Would they work for the rear seat? My wife has a sheepskin that she folds up and perches on so that she can see over me on scenic rides. her neck tends to get sore looking around me for long periods. Or perhaps a booster seat? :lol:
