Airhawk
 

Im going to get an Airhawk cushion for the Ten but i was wondering which one fits the best.

I know a few people with BMW 650s( and similair bikes) use the pillion ones as being smaller they tend to fit the small/narrower seat better. But i think the pillion ones come in two different sizes.

Any advice welcome.

I have the Cruiser Medium, it fits well and you sit into it, rather than on top of it. The sides hang over, but you need the front-to-back length to fit the curve of the Tenere seat.

Then again, when I bought mine, there wasn't the same choice as there is now.

With the AirHawk you only have it slightly inflated, the idea being to fill the gaps with air but your ass still sits on the seat, so it's not a problem having bit overhanging, you just set it so it's full of air in these bits and you get a nice arm chair feeling

Ironically I just ordered an Airhawk this morning, after much deliberation about size for the XTZ. I went for the Cruiser Small ( http://www.bykebitz.co.uk/acatalog/SMALL_CRUISER.html), which is 18" and 12" wide (at the widest point), but it tapers to 9" at the front and 10" at the back, which by reckoning/measuring will fit the seat perfectly? We'll see when it arrives...

I run the Large Airhawk(see piccies) and I do like it a lot! I especially use it on long hauls(800-900km's)/travels and it works well, no sore butt. On short trips, I remove the cushion. It is secured to the seat with two straps, which could be better, but I got it secured tight. You'll sit a tad higher. Once you got the right amount of air in the cushion(not too much!), it's easy to handle.
It's a comfortable addition to the seating, which will give you a relaxed ride.

Hi,
I also use the large cushion for long trips. I found it to work better when i fit the insert upside down into the cover. It gives me a smoother surface to sit on. Just a personal preference as every backside is different. The straps are cheap and useless on the Ten. A couple of bungees work much better.
I am not going anywhere far without it anymore.
Try buying in the US, much cheaper. Just don't declare the real value, customs will screw you. (is this legal?)

ok...so two of you use the large, ones uses medium and one has just ordered the small :toothy9:

before posting this question i was thinking of either the pillion one or if i want for the cruiser style i was thinking small or meduim. guess i cant really go wrong.

Cheers

Sounds an odd selection doesn't it, but I believe that Airhawk have added more sizes in the last year or two and have renamed a number of there products to clarify the range of sizes. Some of the above may well in fact be the same?

I have the cruiser medium and it fits perfectly, dont forget you may wish to use it on another bike so take that into consideration. They are realy good when you get the right amount of air in, which is not alot.

Well the Airhawk (Cruiser Small) arrived this morning and fits like a glove! :yahoo:

Yet to strap down, adjust air and go for a ride...

Dont bother with the straps, use a cargo net. Its much quicker and you can leave the cargo net on the saddle and take the Airhawk off when you have to.
