My Harley Hammock seat was great on this 2500 mile trip.

I never really believed all the kudos about the gel pad cushions available @ Walmart for around $20.
Finally bought one and can't believe how much difference it made!
Very cheap way to get a comfaortable seat.

I have an Air Hawk and it lets me ride about twice as far before I have to get off and walk around a little.
Went to TT3 for a total of 2325.5 miles. Don't think I could have done that comfortably without it.
Yea, I still got tired, but nothing like before adding the Air Hawk.
I bought a high dollar SaddleMens Road Sofa, and it sucks. It looks great, but is less comfortable than a 5 gallon bucket. Don't fit the trike well, either. :eek:b Had to modify things to hide the gaps! JMHO jimsjinx
I have the original GL-1500 seat on my Wing and I find it very comf. Some of the seats on client's 1800 trikes are down right hard as a rock :eek:, I won't mention the brand but I'm sure a few of you may know which one it is.

TED what year is your Road Glide I tried to buy one for my 03 Road Glide the dealer says they only fit 08 & up ?? I have 2 Road Zeppelins a leather & a vinal I think for the money they suck, you pump them up & they just get harder the front of the seat is to wide. Everybody claims the hammock seats are great, it sounds like something Harley would do You want a good seat You have to buy a new bike ???
Road Dog my trike is an 07, but I converted a 08 6 gal gas tank to it which required the coversion of the seat to an 08 or later. I then went to the Hammock when they came out with it last year.

I have a Russell Day Long and love it! Just did a trip to GA, easy 700+ miles w/o discomfort . It's on the expensive side, but IMO you get what you pay for. :yes:

Road Dog a little busy right now but I will try and post something in a week or so on the tank.

The $20 Walmart cushion is a winner indeed. I will ride maybe 200 miles and then put it in the trunk just to feel a difference, but its the best twenty dollars I have ever spent. A buddy of mine bought a Russell Day Long and actually did not like it so he took it off. I don't know whether he ever sold it or not, just commenting.
I been thinking about some of the beaded covers for air flow, any opinons
The stock seat on my VTX 1300 was just terrible. 25 miles and I was hurting. I replaced it with a Mustang. I CAN ride much farther, but it's no where near as comfortable (at least for my butt) as so many seem to claim. It's not enough improvement for the price. But I'm getting sick of spending money. So I'll keep it for awhile.
