• There were many reasons for the change of the site software, the biggest was security. The age of the old software also meant no server updates for certain programs. There are many benefits to the new software, one of the biggest is the mobile functionality. Ill fix up some stuff in the coming days, we'll also try to get some of the old addons back or the data imported back into the site like the garage. To create a thread or to reply with a post is basically the same as it was in the prior software. The default style of the site is light colored, but i temporarily added a darker colored style, to change you can find a link at the bottom of the site.

The newest AirHawk is calle the AirHawk R. They guarantee that it will double your ride time. Cheaper than a new seat and it works.

Good luck with your Airhawk, Alaska... as I said, I bought the new R version (with the risers and floorboards I was putting a lot of pressure straight down, the middle gap on the R appealed to me and so far it seems to help).

The one thing I sorta dislike about the Airhawk, at least the new R, is that with my Ultimate Seat it's not really wide enough to cover the whole width of the seat, so I end up being a little "perched" even with the cushion deflated to the lowest workable level.

That said, the nice thing about the perch is it lets me use my otherwise unusable Rivco highway pegs (I love the floorboards, but those pegs are waaay too close and up high to be of use... thinking of switching out the mounts with KM or ESI, $$$ grrrr).

Last thing: I've heard of people using a sheepskin *over* their Airhawk... I think I might try that.

The AirHawk R is actually the widest motorcycle cushion they make, so the width is unlikely to cause you to be perched. It is more likely a matter of leg length or footrest position. If they are too low or too far forward, the thighs put pressure on the pad and raise the center.

BTW, the Airhawk fits and reacts and fits a bit differently on the RT seat than on the firmer RS seat or an aftermarket seat.
 
I'm good for a couple of hours behind the bars before my bottom starts to mutiny... :shocked: I guess that I'm going to have to look at these Airhawk thingies to see if that'll help keep everybody happy... :thumbup: Thanks!

Okay... I just got back from looking at their website; What model or size of these suckers is right for the RTS: both rider and passenger??

Wow, really?? (Checks Airhawk website) Whaddya know! I've got a reaaaaalllllly big :cus: :joke:.

The Ultimate raises me up a bit, that's for sure, and the Airhawk added to that, so when I put my feet low on the boards, it's almost like I'm on a dually now. ;) So, yeah, I can see how I'm probably pushing the center up with that position.

I *did* notice the Airhawk sitting better if I pushed it farther back into the "nook" formed by the Ultimate's backrest.

That's one thing I've noticed about the Ultimate-- you don't slide forward like on the stock seat BUT you *do* sit further forward; my, ummm, crotch is right over the seat/panel gap in my most natural sitting position now.
 
Update: I was notified by Airhawk that they want to charge me an extra $29.95 shipping because I live in AK. Most of the suppliers that I deal with from lower 48 do not penalize me for where I live. I do not order from these types of suppliers. Order said free shipping. That should include AK--we are American citizens here also. Sometimes you have to eat a little shipping to keep the customer happy. Here, they are treating 96% (48/50) one way and the other 4% (2/50) differently. In the scope of things, for a large company, a little bit of extra shipping absorbed, works out in the long run.

Order cancelled. I will find another vendor.

Bob D. I was going to order the medium size 14 x 14. Looks like it would fit on the front part of my Corbin seat best. Should be about the same for your stocker.

The last thing I would add is check your underwear and your riding pants. A lot of the newer riding pants are very seam conscience and try to avoid hotspots. A lot of older gear and jeans could care less.
 
Do you want me to check and see what it'd cost me to get it and send it on up to you??
Medium Cruiser...Thanks Scotty:thumbup:
 
CHECK MY UNDERWEAR??? Not on your life!! :shocked::yikes:

My Missus now swears that I'm unfamiliar with what "aim" has to do with keeping britches from going in the garbage and that "Brown in back and yellow in front" ISN'T humorous beyond the age of 6... :opps:
 
I am good, Bob D.--but thank you for the offer. The company hit my hot button. The companies that do this always go with $29.95, $39.95 or higher. I would not mind if this was a heavy item--but we are talking 3.5# actual.

One of the leather suppliers tried to charge me $75.00 extra to ship me a pair of pants. I did not buy them either. There are a couple others out there that I don't use for that same reason--but I will cool the rant.

I used to ship mail orders at my leather company--so I have a clue as to what some of these vendors are doing.

Its not the money here--it is the principle of the thing. They got their free advertising. I will eventually find something that works.

When I saw the headline SOAR BUTT I thought you flew off your bike. LOL

Airhawk is the best thing I have ever found and remember they use them for people who are wheelchair bound so they are good.

:agree:Both my husband and I have Airhawk cushions for our RS that we use for longer trips, they have really helped us do some 600+ mile days.

Try Dennis Kirk, they handle Airhawk, that's where we got ours (they are just up the road from us). --Paula
