Air-Hawk R cushion. Pay attention to the instructions and don't over inflate. You can ride for hours in comfort and because of the design of the chambers, your "special area" is comfortable & cooler. Best investment you can make. My wife & I have been using them for 5 years...
Way cheaper than a new seat too...
I also love my HD Road Zeppelin with sheep skin cover I have ridden many miles on it

I was looking for a better seat also, then I tried the AirHawk seat cushion. Made different adjustments till I found what works best for me.

If you lend someone $20 and never see that person again, it was probably worth it.
I also like low cost methods that give great results. But In my case, the greatest comfort will come from moving my body back an inch or two, 1.5" - 2" would be better. I'm about 5' 11.5" with a 33" inseam and I definitely want to my decrease my knee angle. My settle in riding position is slouched and slid forward a bit. So a seat change was always in my future plans for the trike, just wanted to holdout and make my move by early spring, hopefully better pricing, or snatch a steal during winter months. I'm just reluctant to spend additional dollars on cushions that might only provide minimum results, given my actual needs. Thought I'd include a link to a site that has a Motorcycle Ergonomics Simulator. There's a selection for a Trike Simulation that might be interesting to some.
BTW, I hope these side topics are useful for the OP and others.

That's a good site for getting "some idea" of what you might look like but I do wish they would keep it up to date. Subtle changes in years can make a big difference. Also would be even better if they allowed for options that would change how you sit. Like the Can-Am F3 has multiple riding positions yet they only show one. So in the end your best bet is hit the dealers up.... Thought I'd include a link to a site that has a Motorcycle Ergonomics Simulator.

I agree completely! I never considered the site as a be-all-end-all......much the same as I recognize and acknowledge that there's not one be-all-end-all seating solution that provides the same comfort level to every rider. A huge disappointment for me is, there's no easy and less costly way for me to demo a Mustang Super Touring Vintage Seat for comparison to HD Touring Seats.That's a good site for getting "some idea" of what you might look like but I do wish they would keep it up to date.
