Finally, a solution to the ongoing problem of total discomfort from my Corbin seat. After 5 years of trying to fix this problem I decided to get the Airhawk medium cruiser seat pad. I tried gel pads, bead pads, short sheepskin pads and long sheepskin pads. Nothing worked. I kept shying away from the Airhawk because of the price but finally went and pulled the trigger. I found the Airhawk online at rlmotorcycles.com for the cheapest price of $139.90 shipped to my home. The big brown truck dropped it off Friday and I went on a 200 mile ride today in this wonderful South Florida heat and humidity for the sole purpose of a comfort test. I can honestly say this was money well spent. It took a little adjusting to get the air right but once it was it felt like I was riding sitting in my recliner. The quality workmanship, ease of installing it and true comfort makes this the last pad I'll ever buy.

John, I may have to try my cousin's Airhawk on the seat on my Wee. I'm glad you found a comfy solution, and I'm not the only one who thinks my Corbin is like a tractor seat. The shape is great but it's just hard as a rock. The wife has an old sheepskin around here somewhere that I was going to try, but I'm almost tip toeing now! Anyone have a Sargent seat for a Wee they want to trade?
The Airhawk was one of the best additions to my ST1300. I bought it six years ago, half way through a 8,000 mile trip. The Airhawk saved the trip, my butt was so sore from the stock seat that I was wondering if I would be able to make it home. I use it on all my long trips now, even though I upgraded the seat to a Sargent. Well worth the money.
I picked on up this summer but haven't really had a chance to use it much, yet. I had not really planned on getting one but I saw a deal that I could not pass up. A vendor at Mid-Ohio VMD had one left and mentioned that he would let it go for $40! I wish he had another one for my wife's bike.
