Hey guys, one of the last items on my long distance comfort list is possibly an after market seat cushion.

My Corbin seat is pretty comfortable, but hard as a rock. After about 2 hours., my bony ass is crying for some relief. I've got some bicycle riding pants, but even they only help for so long.

I'm thinking maybe the Airhawk air pad or something similar. Any one had any experience with this or any other seat "supplement". (besides the dead goat skin!)

Hey, any place that sells seat cushion and breathalyzers can't be too bad!

Thanks!

Sheepskin or a Wal-mart ATV seat pad, which may or may not be discontinued. Airhawk is way to expensive for something that may or may not work.

I've got one of these:

http://www.alaskaleatheronline.com/servlet/the-20/Sheepskin-Motorcycle-Seat-Cover%2C/Detail

It says "varying thickness" and "may have seams" but the one I've got seems to be uniform thickness and is one piece. Very happy with it.

The Airhawks have a great reputation buy geez, THE PRICE! Shocked

I found this, a small size crusier cushion that should fit well for $99.95 plus $9.95 for shipping.

If it keeps my ass from crying, it'll be worth it. Plus I can take it to stadiums and other hard seat venues, happy butt day!
