I'm tempted to try one now that I have one of Dave's kawa drive sprockets installed. The biggest limitation to long distance rides seems to be my butt!

It must help somewhat or I would never have brought it in the first place. I'm satisfied with it.

I tried a bunch of things before I found my "butt saver", the Airhawk. I've used that for many years and many miles.
It doesn't work for everybody, but it sure works for me.
The big mistake most people make is putting too much air in. Inflate, then sit on it, and let most of the air out. That way the air can shift between the cells and support you better.

Most motorcycle problems are caused by the nut between the seat and the handlebars. Make sure yours isn't too tight or too loose.

Not quite as cushiony as an air hawk but a big difference from nothing to this. Quality product and very pleased with it. https://alaskaleather.com/collections/sheepskin-buttpads/products/small-sheep...

I ordered the dual sport model in the lack of specifics as it seemed to be the best fit by the pictures. Hopeing this helps me acheive my goal of visiting all the breweries in my state but I think I am falling way behind as there are over 300 now....

Sorry about the "lack of specifics".
I am using the Cruiser Medium.. but I bought that before the Dual Sport model was even available.
The Dual Sport is "11 x 11", while the Cruiser Medium is "14 x 14". I would be interested in seeing pictures of how it fits on your bike when you get it.

that's the wrong pad for the pillion...

Butt... there are better options for the pillion. Grin

there's a pad that widens the pillion that your partner will thank you for.
be careful what key words you use or you'll end up on a porn site. Cool

Was it here or another forum that I heard about a "Butt Buddy"? Might be of interest to you. Yes, Butt Buddy is its real name... lol
