I was about to buy an expensive custom made seat and thought I would try an AIRHAWK. The review in Motorcycle Classics Magazine was right..the airhawk doubled my miles..at least.Not only did Isave a bunch of money by buying the airhawk, I can also use it on any of my 4 motorcycles because it is so easy to switch from bike to bike.Try doing that with that expensive custom seat! Motorcycling is supposed to be fun and I have found fun at every mile of a long trip. I just did 2 1000 mile days in a row with this airhawk. My wife is getting her own airhawk for Christmas!
