Better Seating?

[Rladuke]

Got a 2015 RT Ltd. and LOVE IT!! The seat gets uncomfortable after a couple hours as others have complained. Not interested at this point in investing $800-$1500 for an "Ultimate Seat" or others of that caliber. Wondering if anyone here had any suggestions for a "Pad" of some sort that would give at least a little more comfort....THANKS!!!

Try an AirHawk seat cushion. Works for me!

Try an "Air Hawk". There are also other options that will be posted by others.

Agree about the AirHawk and Sheepskin , But then that como is nice for short rides 300 + or - But if your going to put serious miles on in a day (500 - 700 + ) then in my opinion a Russel is the way to go again (4th seat to be made April 4th)

You can do airhawk air cushion, saddleman gel pads, bead pads, sheepskin pads or any combo thereof depending on whether you like firm support or soft. Unfortunately theres nothing like a good quality custom seat from ultimate, mustang, corbin or russell. Expensive but worth it long term.

Better Seating

Might give Motorcycle Dave a call (site sponsor) and see what he can do for you.

If and when you get tired of messing with it all, a Russel Day Long seat is worth the investment.

Short of that there is also bead rider seats, which work well in the rain, no matter what type seat you have to keep you up out of the pooling water and dry.

As mentioned, the OEM seating from BRP kind of sucks. I have replaced five out of five. My current rides (2011 and 2014 RT's) both have BRP Comfort seats. They are a bit more supportive with the lumbar built in. The driver is also setback about two additional inches. For about $600--not to bad in the pricing department. I can go all day--on a good day--with the Comfort, compared to an hour or so on the OEM.

I am also an Air Hawk and a sheepskin pad user. When I have back and hip issues, they would be added to the mix. With the hip fixed, am hoping those days are over. :yes:

I have

the Airhawk R and it fits the RT very well. I have used my Airhawk on more than one 700+ mile day and it does the job for me.

Youre the third Spyder owner that I know who has a ride in appointment at RDL that week. Have fun.

For me the air-hawk is great but it was not all I needed to be able to make long rides.

I spent $400 on a custom seat on my Honda ST 1300, but the greatest improvement I ever made was a beaded cover!

Do you use one of these on your Spyder? Even though I have an Ultimate seat, I still need help. I tried an Air Hawk, but it offered no improvement despite experimenting with the air pressure.

Thanks for your help on this one.
