I'm preparing for a ~100 mile trip on Saturday. Yesterday my Airhawk 2 seat (size small cruiser is the best fit) arrived. I got it installed and properly inflated and was going to take it out for an hour or so. Only, I didn't make it. It fixes the pressure spots, but then puts pressure on other places.
I'm going to try and put this elegantly. The empty space between my butt and the gas tank is usually reserved for my guy parts. Now that space is occupied by unused air pockets. The end result is less than comfortable. Do any other GS riders with Airhawks have this issue? Is there a fix to this?
Either you have too much air in it, or it is too far forward, or you are too far back.

I have tried several different configurations of the seat. Far forward is uncomfortable for above reasons, farther back feels like I'm going to slip off the seat. Less air has me bottoming out, and more air helps less. I ever tried it on backwards. No such luck. I'm going to try a gel seat next, it should take care of the pressure points without this issue. I have a cruiser the Airhawk seat works just fine on, so it's not wasted money.
I have an airhawk 2 and it works great. Fiirst time I have been able to travel 300kms without getting off the bike. It rocks.
Took me a little while to work out the right pressure for me but now I have its great.
