Thinking about a new seat to replace stock

I can't remember the technical reason for the upside down photos, but it has something to do with a cell phone photo according to Mark. If I can find his post without too much trouble I'll supply a link here or maybe he will respond himself.

I tried the Air Hark air seat pad. You can adjust it for best fit and cost was around $100. Works great for me..

Thanks Sully. I might try Airhawk cushion first and see how we get along. Good reviews on cushion!

+1 on the Airhawk!

Be advised that it takes very little air to get that cushy feel!

Does it hold air well? I had a knock off that was like haley shocks ... leaked really bad.

Not even gonna touch the "cushy feel" comment ... I'm still recovering from the clowns.

My Airhawk has NEVER leaked - had it since 2008.

At least we are not posting FAKE NEWS, just telling it like it is.

Here's a couple more options to ponder before spending big bucks on a new seat. This first one I've been studying for a while is from B&G Upholstery. They offer a removable velour or cloth type seat covers with an optional gel pad. they look very comfortable to me.

The second option is what I have been pleased with. I didn't think I would be at first, but have grown to really like, is a set of seat beads from Bead Rider. I went with the ceramic model. https://www.beadrider.com/

My GL1800 seat with Bead Rider.

In the hot months here in Texas we actually put the Airhawk on top of the bead seat - the bead seat provides for some air flow in the “land down under”. The bead seat is also comfortable by itself - but cool in the cold weather months.

I bought a wooden bead car seat cover from Amazon for about $12.00, Jerry AKA Gold Rush, modified it to fit my seat. I wanted to try beads but didn't want to spend the money for Rider Beads without knowing if I would like the beads. I do like them very much for the hot Texas days. ​

I have something similar to the airhawk pad. Im good for an hour with the stock seat then the pad goes on.

Its held on somewhat with a strap but adds many miles and smiles when I use it.
