An update
 

I know this subject is well worn on here but it's worth carrying on about it.

So i bought an Airhawk...the small cruiser.

The first thing that made me laugh was the straps...they are bra straps...black bra straps.....i relly do mean that.

Anyway i fitted it and spent a week trying to get the right amount of air in it. What i found was that to have enough air in it to make it comfy on a ride or any distance would mean it had far too much air in it around town.

I am not knocking the airhawk but i don't think it is a good fit for the tall narrow Tenere seat. I am 6ft tall and have fitted a 125mm lowering kit. But when in traffic i find that when i put my foot down my backside never really leaves the seat and i have to lean the bike slightly.

So this mean that when i put my foot down my backside pulls the airhawk over to the side...and yes it is as tight as it will go. When i put my leg back up the airhawk doe not return so i have to stand up and have a fiddle to get it back int eh right place.

it's a problem with the design i feel. the cover stays put but stretches and the smooth inner air bladder is free to slide all over the place.

I will be sending it back and getting my 60 day money back guarentee.

I changed my undies....no good...tried gel padded cycling shorts...again no good and felt like i was wearing a nappy...not my thing.honestly.

So after chatting with Barcelona Pat on ABR i have ordered a sheepskin. I hope it works. If you don't know him do a google for him and read his site. He rode fomr the southern tip of america to Alaska alone on a tenere. He told me that after the first two days of riding he felt like somebody has beating the crap out of his backside....then he fitted the sheepskin.

I have now done 1000 miles on here and use her everyday for an hour commute each way to work.

It's 30 mins to the second that i feel numb or sore or not righ down below.

I have chanegd my riding position...feet on the pegs...toes on the pegs...learing forward..sittign forward...learning back..sitting back..

Nothing works.

I have tried my gore tex trousers....jeans...cotton trousers....everything.

The seat as too little padding at the front for me...not enough on the sides as i seem to be sitting on the plastic seat base in the sides....this really hurts.

I did think about chanign the bike but i like everything else about it and now i've spent the money i want to get something from it.

I will keep you updated.
