Airhawk Motorcycle Seat available at J&P Cycles.

Seems like a great idea.... However, nothing seems as durable, comfortable or breathable than leather.

Bought one of these for my V Strom and it was such a waste of money. Reasons being is its very hard to find a comfortable position because the seat feels like its moving on you constantly. By this I dont mean the seat itself is moving but rather the air pockets take a few seconds to adjust to even the slightest movement which is very regular on a bike if you ride it right. Its very noticeable when cornering. Also once you park up somewhere its a real pain to put it away every time.

I purchased a couple of these and I do not find it works very good. I just came back from a 4 day road trip and after the second day I had to take it off the bike. After two days of trying to adjust it to work well I got fed up with it. After a day of riding I was still sore in the same places, my inner thighs and bottom of my butt. I find that the more I took air out the more vibrations I got on my nuts. The two air cells in the front should be smaller. My wife likes hers though.

Me parece una castaña.

I've been a motorcyclist for a long time. My wife just bought us a couple of these cushions, and they're really great. I wish I'd have gotten one long ago. I am an airline pilot, and the seats in the cockpit of a 757 is not very ergonomic, and they are all very worn from being sat in 12 hours a day.

I just took my bike cushion on a 3 day trip that had two coast to coast flights, and it was like sitting on 37,000 feet of air cushion! This thing goes with me everywhere from now on!

[jpcycles2]

@meconalone That is great, if you check out the company, you'll see that they make a wide variety of seats for different applications, they may have one just for your plane seat...

Perfect for Recaro car seats too. I just got back from a round trip (1200 miles total) in my Subaru WRX. Before leaving, I thought about getting a regular seat cover from Roho but none would fit in the flat part of the Recaro seat. So I thought about the one on my Burgman. I fits perfect. I used it and had no pain during each of the 600 mile drives (10 hours). I simply got out of the car and no pain. Great accessory.

I just got back from a run from Shrewsbury, England to Valencia, Spain on a Kawasaki Z1000. With my new Airhawk seat the whole journey was an absolute pleasure. No back ache, numb bum or legs.

This should be a standard accessorie on any bike that travels for more than ten miles.

An excellent product, many thanks.

My recently purchased used Suzuki Burgman 650 came with an Airhawk (Large). In almost 30 years or riding motorcycles I have never used a cushoin of any kind. I always just lived with the stock seats. I wish I'd known about the Airhawk a lot sooner! This thing is awesome. I rode 5 hours last weekend and not once did my butt complain. The aihawk is so comfortable that I bring it inside my home and use it in my computer chair too!

[retrodog63]

The rubber type surface on the bottom holds it to the seat really well. The cloth on top is excellent for minimizing moisture from sweating (summer here in Houston so that's important). There's a bit of shifting on curves and starts/stops to get used to but not bad. And it feels great when cruising. I plan to use it for normal riding on trips and then quickly remove it for fun on curves. Best of both worlds.

[leewos]

Retrodog63...... You may have it a bit over inflated if you're getting that much shifting..

I use mine in the twisties with no problem...and no real "shifting". I only have mine inflated to where it raises me up about 1/2 inch. Being female and usually over cautious, If I felt any danger in using this pad in curves, I wouldn't keep it on. But again, you may have it a tad over inflated......just my thoughts.

[retrodog63]

leewos, thanks for the input. Yes, I might have had it a bit over inflated. I let some more air out of it and will test it soon. This is definitely one of those things that needs to be adjusted very precisely. It's a good thing that it's so easy to adjust. My real riding season doesn't really start for another 1-2 months so I haven't gotten in a hurry.

[leewos]

I've adjusted mine several times since I've had it. Sometimes I put a little more air in, sometimes I let it out.... depends on the road's I'm riding. Just did a 300 mile in one day on both highway and secondary roads. It was the first time my thighs didn't go numb or have to dismount after 50-70 miles to walk around. Added benefit, while parked in the sun for hours, it didn't fry my rear when I got back on the bike.

My initial impressions and thoughts:

Seems like a very nice and well built unit. Adjustments are easy. Adjustment valve is like a valve stem on a tire. You can easily loosen and tighten it good enough with one hand while sitting on it.. Then you need to use two hands to hold the stem and tighten the valve with the other. The ride was really nice with it. I tested it out on Friday and Saturday. I think it will work great for my needs. More details to follow...

[jpcycles2]

RETRODOG63, please let us know what you think of your Airhawk, we would really like to know your opinion.

[retrodog63]

Well I ordered one today. Plan to use it on my Burgman 650 and Valkyrie. I like the idea of being able to move it from one bike to another. I'll report back later on performance. ;-)

[leewos]

Yes, you can "fix" it if U ever get a leak. I comes with a repair kit. It's very sturdy and constructed well. No, water would not be as effective as air. I wont ride my bike without my Air Hawk. It eliminated the pain and leg numbness I experienced. I can ride all day in total comfort.

[retrodog63]

So, can you fix a leak with this thing? Also, would filling it with water make it more comfortable?

[jpcycles2]

I would assume you could fix a leak, I have never heard of one leaking yet though. As for the water, you would have to check with the manufacturer but I would not think it would be very good... Should temps get too low at night, then your first ride in the morning would be pretty uncomfortable with an ICY butt. Plus the water wouldn't pass through the portals as quickly so you would have a slower response with the individual cells.

[GurmeetSinghBrar]

Is it a good for office chairs? and where can you buy them? I m from canada by the way.

[leewos]

Try Ebay......that's where I got mine. Yes, it's excellent on chairs, in the car, boat.....anywhere you need padding inbetween hard surfaces

[jpcycles2]

You can order that from the J&P Cycles catalog and we'll ship to Canada... Also, go to our website and order a FREE catalog of all J&P Cycles parts and we'll send you one for FREE.

Thanks for the great video, I needed a seat pad and did not want to spend 100's of dollars for a brand new seat for the bike not knowing if that would do the job. The AirHawk seat pad does! and for a reasonable price. I have made several long trips now on my bike that I would never have considered with the stock seat.

Thanks. Phil

I am now riding on the AirHawk thanks to this video. AMAZING product and will add years to my riding. Has completely got me off the couch & back to riding daily. Just never would have believed what this product can do. Thanks again!

Mike

[mikentrishcartwright]

Thank You! This is the very first time I have found info on this seat that shows me to any extent, what it's composition is like. It allows me to more easily compare it to my ALLYN AIR Cushion. This video also really gives me the chance to see the very striking differences between the two pads in both sizing AND construction. Was afraid the AirHawk was too fragile but looks more sturdy than expected when viewing this video. THANKS!
