I also have the R/Zepplin but have had the air hawk. Love the R/Z as once you start building your pressure points during a long ride, just reach back and add or release some air and your pressure points are now changed.HD Road Zepplin

Well, looks like I'm the only one who sits on a AirHawke R. :AllGood:
My butts happy :laugh:
Just picked up an Airhawk. Have to try it before spending big bucks for a better seat.
This seat on the new triglide kills my butt after about 150 miles. The 2006 Ultra that I traded in had a stock seat and I could ride it all day. So whats with the new seat? Not broken in? I even tried taking my wallet out. Nothing. So will give the Airhawk a go.
I still have the stock seat on mine and going to go with a different type soon, my left hip starts to hurt after about a 80 mile ride, when I had a Heritage Softail a few years back it wasnt anything to knock off 200 to 250 mile and no problems, I know, I'm a little older and with that brings aches and pains I never had before, just looking for direction on seats.
Different???? 2 wheel seat vs. 3 wheel seat:
The rider on a 2 wheeler leans into a turn and his body leans with the motorcycle. Side forces acting on his body are minimal and he is in a relaxed state. The rider on a three wheeler takes this same turn flat and hangs on with his hands, arms, legs and toes while his butt tries to slide off the seat in the opposite direction of the turn. Most trikes make do with a seat from their 2 wheel counterpart. Ugh. Ideally, a trike seat would have bolstering incorporated into it's design in order to hold the rider in place no matter how sharp the turn is. Does this make sense to anybody else? I need a trike seat for my trike...not a motorcycle seat. Anybody know where I can get one and not have to make it?
I use the Road Zeppelin from Harley. You can change the pressure points on the go. I don't have to stop, just push a switch for up or down in two areas on the rider part. They are expensive so you do need to find one to try first.I'm with you on the failure of companies to make a true trike seat. I just finished a one day 630 mile ride, and the two bones on my butt still hurt. I have very little butt, and it causes that bone problem. Also, have been spending the last two days searching the internet for trike seats -- something that is wide enough to support my whole butt and more. I don't need the neck down part of the typical motorcycle seat.
But, I cannot find anything for a trike. You would think Harley would come up with something that is more useable for a trike. I started looking at custom seats. Trouble is, I just bought a Saddlemen seat that removed all of my tailbone pain, but the two bones still cause trouble. The pain starts at about 200 miles and gets worse. BTW, the Saddlemen has a nice butt curve that seems to hold better on curves.
I have found after awhile the RZ seat if very uncomfortable no matter how many times I adjust the pressure in the seat.. But I know that is not in all cases..
Went back to the stock seat and found that more to my liking..
Well good luck..
