Sure, lots of people use an air hawk. I use a sheep skin cover from alaskaleather.com.
Best regards,

Cushion or not, you really should stop and get off every hour or so. BTW, I'm guilty of not following my own advice!

I have an Airhawk, and it does help somewhat, The reality is that, the S40/Savage is an Ar se riveter.

+1 on the sheepskin from alaskaleather. I have that combined with modified seat foam and it's much better, and cool even in hot Alabama summer weather.
EDIT to add picture. Here's what the black alaskaleather cover looks like:

I have an air hawk also and it helps a lot. Be aware though it takes a lot of tries to get the air pressure in it just right. It is a lot less air than you would think. About 100 to 120 miles max and I need to get off to rest my butt anyway.

I modified a Harley Softail seat to sit on , then added Floorboards !
The seat mod don't take any welding , if you can wrap a Christmas package and have a "T-50 " stapler then you can do it .

I'm thinking about buying an Airhawk pad for my 2009 S40 and am wondering which model is the right one for my stock seat. Any advice?

I brought the medium sized one from memory. Best go to the Air Hawk website to make sure of the sizing. There are two quality grades, and I brought the lesser one off an EBAY seller for less than Air Hawks retail.
