    Default AirHawk Seat Cusion size for F3; R or Medium Cruiser?

    Getting ready for Spyderfest and not sure which size fits better. Historically I believe it was the R for other models, but the dimensions for the F3 driver's seat made me wonder if the Cruiser fit better.

    Anyone with F3 AirHawk experience?

    Thanks!

    Mike,
    Are you using the large or small on your F3? My cannonball seat is 14.5 wide but the large is 14 inches long which would hang over the tank area......if I go with the small it is only 11 x 11 so won't touch the tank area but a little narrow.....

    Suggestions??

    I'm fairly sure that my husband's airhawk is a cruiser model. He used it on his Yamaha Vstar 1100 classic. It works just fine on the spyder F3 without rubbing on the bodywork in front of the seat.
    We now have His and Hers Spyders!

    Get the "CRUISER" size and you will be happy, also they have a 60 full refund guarantee if you are not happy.

    Fill it with air and sit on it, release air a little at a time until you are sitting in it not on top of it.

    I have the midsize "Cruiser" version. Got it before there was an "R" model. Worked great on my RT with both the OEM seat, and on a Corbin seat. Should work well on any F3 seat configuration.

    A tip: You sit in a Airhawk, and not on it. You have to fiddle around with the air pressure and adjust until you get it just right for you.
