I tried the airhawk and just could not get used to the disconnected feeling, same with the gel pad I bought for a previous bike.

My 2013 CB's factory seat I would rate as second worst seat I have owned. In first place would be my last 3 or 4 BMWs!
German torture devices!

The Cozy seat I bought from fredkb is a big improvement.

Stealth, I think mine might be the medium cruiser AirHawk.

Ditto. Anything over a couple hours and the Airhawk goes on. Like night and day.

Interesting. Earlier this month 2200 miles in 7 days for me. No complaints.

Seats are very personal things. What feels great for one rider is misery for another. I found the seat on my Guzzi Breva the best ever but some on the Guzzi forum thought it the worst. Go figure.

Same here for the mens fall trip. 8-9 hours a day every day for a week no complaints. Or my ST on the trip to Cali...5500 miles in 11 days, no complaints while on the ST board some people think the ST seat is a torture devise. Redbirds is right, seats are so personal. I have only sat on Corbins but they feel like boards to me. Yet many people love them. How can a Corbin be comfortable to one and an air hawk be comfortable to another? Polar opposites. Doesn't make sense to me.
