My wife and I, both, ride distance stuff on the AirHawk 2. We love it. So much nicer than some of the other options, and, we don't have to buy another seat. The original seat is comfy for short hauls, but, the AirHawk makes the longer stuff last all day. We have used gel, covers/sheepskin, air pads, and even a memory foam floor mat from BBB cut in half. I like that it does not raise my position like a lot of others, due to the amount of air in the cells. I use a couple puffs and am good to go. The wife, 100 pounds soaking wet, has a little more air. She likes that it is adjustable for the changes during the ride, it elevates her nearly to the level of the Mustang on the VTX1300 so she can see...especially when I am feeling frisky and punching 80mph on a twisty road.
