AIRHAWK CUSHION

I have had an Airhawk for 4 years. I always leave it on. Never had a problem.

Mine just lays on the seat and I place my helmet on it.

I leave it on never a problem

Who wants a half deflated pad covered with butt sweat? Besides it has straps that go under the seat.

Mostly just leave it on. :thumbup: Tom :spyder:

 

[cuznjohn]

i used a 1 1/2 inch gel seat, i never took it off

Airhawk: most of the time I just left it in place. Parking in congested, crime ridden downtown--put it in the frunk.

:yes:

I leave mine on too, no problems. When I leave my bike for a long period, I take my Radar detector, helmet and GPS and lock it up in the frunk, but not my Airhawk.

I Leave It On.

My Airhawk straps are run under the seat so it isn't convenient to remove. If a thief wants it, he'll have to cut the straps.

I generally stow mine. I don't use the straps and I've had it blown off by wind gusts.

:shocked: When you put it THAT way... :barf:

We just put our Misty Mountain Sheepskin Seat Cover over it, and the problem was resolved! :thumbup:

Has anyone ever had one stolen?

I've been on a LOT of bike forums for a LOT of years and don't remember ever seeing a report of a seat cushion being stolen.

Most of the time I leave it on but in a walmart plot i stow it. :dontknow:

 

[bobgeorge]

Good to hear from everyone that Airhawks are pretty safe

:shocked: You take your Spyder to Wal-Mart??? :yikes:
I wouldn't even take a rental car into one of those parking lots!

I sometimes leave my Airhawk, helmet, GPS and jacket on my bike without any lock. I have never had anything stolen. When I arrive I lQQk around and if the local population seems unfriendly I lock up everything.

I don't want to "live in fear" when I'm riding.
The same reason I keep my "protective" gear to a minimum. BE FREE :thumbup:

 

[Bob Denman]

Nobody should ever "Live in fear"...
But taking some common sense precautions, if the situation warrants it; is always wise... :thumbup:

Not to hijack the thread, but a Kradellock, http://www.kradellock.com/, is a great way to save the GPS storage hassle during the day. I still bring mine in at night when travelling.
