    AirHawk Cushions

    I have a 1979 gs1000N with the flat seat. Has anyone tried the airhawk cushions and which model. It looks like 2 might fit. The cruiser seat pad small and the DS seat pad S thanks20180526_140117.jpg

    Why is your motorcycle out in the rain? For just $19 a month, we can provide oil and shelter for bikes like this. But please hurry - time is running out.

    Sorry your seat isn't comfy, but that's no reason to punish the bike.

      I've heard good things about their cushions, but I've never had a bike with one.

        Just my opinion, but the GS 1000e seat is one of the best seats in motorcycle history. A air hawk seat won't do it any better. But by all means give it a try and report back to us and let us know what you think. 👍

              How strange. I don't think that has happened before. LMAO

                When it happens to me (I mean if it ever were to), I'd take the advice of my married friends: deny, deny, deny.

                Actually, first clean everything up with a towel, then deny.

                  Deb and I use Airhawk cushions for long trips and extended touring . I think ours ( x 2) were for a Harley . There's heaps of different sizes .
                  Good for the bum and tail bone .
                  It takes a bit to get the pressure right . We tended to over inflate at first .
                  We start the day without them and as we get a bit sore , put the cushions on .
                  We like them .

                  Cheers , Simon .

                    Get the one with the cut-out for your ghoolies.... that's my advice. Works better on my KLR than the SKunk. You should be able to feel the seat through it, it basically helps take some pressure off by filling in the gaps around your sit bones & up the side of your legs.

                    When you first inflate it you will for sure put too much air in... it needs to be quite flacid.
