I just found a post with a mention about the "Airhawk pneumatic seat cushion" which Googling returns: http://www.therohostore.com/Departments ... hions.aspx (http://www.therohostore.com/Departments/Comfort-Products/AIRHAWK-Motorcycle-Seat-Cushions.aspx) as the place to get them.

Anyone have one and are willing to post your thoughts on it?

What size do you have?

Is it the "Airhawk" or "Airhawk 2" ?

If it does what is says it does, the "Airhawk 2" doesn't look to bad for the price.

Airhawk! Yes! Yes! Yes! :2tup:

The discomfort of the GZ seat is legendary, as you have no doubt read. The Airhawk is a complete game-changer. I can literally ride all day on it with no comfort issues at all. I didn't get the Airhawk until I was half-way through a long multi-day trip (on a different bike with a marginally less uncomfortable seat). On the way out I was squirming at 60 minutes and aching at 90. On the way back, heaven! I still stopped about every 90 minutes - because my legs needed stretching, not because my derreire was numb.

I paid somewhat less than the price advertised on the Roho site. I bought on eBay from ghostmotorcycleinc. I think I paid around $135 plus shipping.

Definitely on my shopping list.

Hey waya, BillInGA
This seems like a great replacement alternative for the GZ stock seat!! One question though, do you know if AIRHAWK actually makes a model for the GZ? Because in the link that waya posted, specifically in the Fit Chart http://www.therohostore.com/AIRHAWK-Motorcycle-Seat-Cushion-Fit-Chart.aspx, I couldn't find the GZ... :cry:
Anyway, I'm gonna do some internet browsing on my own, and probably ask AIRHAWK directly just to be sure...
Thanks for the info!! :2tup:

They said somewhere there that it doesn't have to be an exact fit. They give dimensions to go by and that slightly larger than your seat is fine. If I remember correctly.

Seems like there's no different shapes (except cruiser style, sports style, etc.) just large, medium, small. You might need to measure the geezer saddle, & just ask them which cruiser saddle you'll need.

EDIT :- You seem to have answered the question. You must have posted while I was still composing mine. :)

IIRC, I got the Cruiser Medium. I just measured it and it's about 14" wide and 14" long. I believe the ROHO site gives the dimensions of the different sizes.

It's not a replacement for the stock seat, but an add-on. It sits on top of the seat.
