    Ok I know this must be the oldest question in the pub 
    But here we go... I can do 6hr ride sleep, get back on and am fine next morning but after another 3 hrs my bum nags me to stop and drink beer
    I'v been told the airhawk seat is ideal but cost $$$$$$ also lambs wool, bubble wrap, and so on, I also get told to tuffin the fuck up a lot 
    I ride a 2016 breakout and I am sure the seat if fine its me and my skinny ass 
    There is a lot more $$$ I am spending on my bike before a new seat 
    Any cheap tricks you lot got up your sleaves 

    Thanks bloodog

    I like to drop the rear pegs and put my feet back on them, changes the position, leans you into the bars a bit, takes the weight off ya bum.

    Probably only relevant if you have drag bars or similar, not sure if I could do it with apes.

    Sore arse ?

    Be a little more selective with those you 'ride with'.

    You have the answer, Airhawk, its a cushion of air not a seat.

    Ha Ha speedy 
    The only thing I find attractive about the ugly cunts I ride with is the smell of beer on them

    I have used one of these on the Fatboy on plenty of 1,000+k days, I tell you now without it I wouldn't be capable of more than

    one or 2 long days. There are plenty on here that will recommend them.

    Another consideration re seats when doing one long ride after another is that some seats' foam compress a lot after a while and take a while to 'reset'.

    BD. Look for the Airhawk R. A tad more expensive but has cut outs for the family jewels and coccyx. Wouldn't be without it. Regards

    +1 on the air hawk. Have back and sciatic issues and couldn't do much without it. Rode another members bike with stock touring seat on the weekend and my sciatica had me fucked in about an hour. Ride all day with the airhawk. It also helps take the shock out of our fucking goat track roads.

    Check out www.airhawk.com.au 

    They have a lot of different sizes to suit almost anything.

    Here is mine on my streety with a large Sundowner seat. They have 2 straps with quick clips and have an anti slip base so they dont slide around. They need very little air in them and it pays to play around with the pressure to get them just right. This one has lasted three bikes so far and is about 8 years old and still going strong. Nearly lost it to Mrs Graz so had to buy her one as well.

    Another vote for the Airhawk, done plenty of 1,000km plus days with one of these fitted.
    The most important thing with the Airhawk is not to over inflate them.

    Yeah I use air hawk on long bike rides but a good seat makes a hell of a diffrence too.
    Just changed from Le pera to a corban, fuck what a diffrence, expansive but ya get what ya pay for.
    A lot of choices, do ya homework though.
