It certainly is a well discussed topic. I tried one on my Magna and promptly took it off and bought a standard Mustang. It seemed ok for the first 50 miles and then started to feel quite hard for the rest of the day's ride. Buy an airhawk cushion.

airhawk, small cruiser and your stock seat, use the airhawk on trips and long distance and stocker for town/city driving. save yourself some cash for gas for your cage and get the airhawk.

Air hawk is the answer.

I have been through the seat problem with every bike I have ever ridden and that's quite a few. The gel seat is comfortable for the short ride but tends to feel harder as time passes. The Corbin to my surprise was also hard and not as comfortable as I would have imagined. I am on a Trophy 1200 and I ordered an Air Hawk today. I will let you know if this is the end to a long expensive search!

It is the best solution out there for a narrow sports tourer type seat but the best is a Day long seat, which is wide at the rear to provide plenty of butt support, and then matched to a cruiser style airhawk, is the ultimate. Mind you the Day long shape is ugly on a sports tourer.
