Soar Butt

Sore butt

I know people ride farther than I do in a day, butt my butt can only handle about 4 hours in a day, I want to go on some longer trips, butt I need some suggestions or tips to make the stock seat on a RT more comfortable on longer trips, I do have the utopia back rest which is great.

Get an Air Hawk R cushion. It will make all the difference in the world for you. Here's the web site: http://www.therohostore.com/Departments/Comfort-Products/AIRHAWK-Motorcycle-Seat-Cushions.aspx

Enjoy....Paul

On the RT-limited which sizes would be needed for rider and passenger? I do have the backrest installed also.

Airhawk R

I just got an Airhawk R for my RT-S. Check this site out. I saved $50 and it arrived in 2 days.

Saw Doc - Riverside this past weekend at the Georgia Spyder Riders Meet-and-Eat. I hadn't even gotten my helmet off and he was showing me his Airhawk. Short story, I had been watching this thread previously and wondering about them. Was seriously considering a Corbin or Day Long change of seating. After talking with Doc (who is using an Airhawk on top of his Corbin) I decided to try one. Ordered the AirHawk R and will post more after I have had a few good rides on it. Butt, thus far, I LIKE it.

I've had my AirHawk R for 3 weeks now and after a 5 hour ride I was glad I bought it. The stock seat on my RT LTD just dosen't do it for me. I've had back problems for many years and I could only ride a hour with the stock seat, as long as I stop every couple hours to gas up and stretch the AirHawk does its job. The key is finding the proper inflation point that suits your backside.

buy it. it's worth every penny. i got over 100,000 on my first one before i had to shoot it. i still couldn't put it in the dumpster so i left it for someone else to do the deed.

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!

+1 on the airhawks. get the original or the newest version not the cheaper version 2.

On the more expensive side of fixes...pps:
How about a Corbin with the Lamonster cut?? Has anybody else tried this one?? :dontknow:

I had the AirHawk rectangular seat and it was great. I bought the Airhawk R a few months ago and it is AMAZING. I would recommend it in a heartbeat.

SEAT

As has been mentioned bike shorts work great , they are designed to wick moisture and generally avoid poorly placed seams, Trunk style long leg boxers actually work well for shorter rides ... also look at JCWHITNEY .COM they sell fairly inexpensive gel pads covered and non-covered.

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.

Be sure not to over inflate the AirHawk. It will feel like being perched & a bit like floating on top. I inflate mine, sit on it and open the valve to expel all of the air & then give it 2 short puffs of air. Works great for me. I did the same for both my Original AirHawk and the R
