Hi,
I'm a new member here, and want to share my experience of my new airhawk seat cushion.
After 1 hour of riding my butt and lower back get quite sore, so I was looking for ways to minimize the discomfort on my 06 FZ6. After reviewing different options, I opted for the airhawk small cruiser model.
I couldn't test it yesterday as Hanna was blowing through Raleigh, so today I rode for 4 hours and absolutely no pain! I could have easily gone a few more hours.
It is not a perfect fit for the FZ6, but close. Getting the air level right took several tries and I adjusted several times during the course of my riding. The mounting straps go under the seat, and aren't the greatest fit, and cosmetically it is less than stellar - however it works absolutely amazing. I highly recommend this to any rider who finds the FZ6 seat to be too hard or uncomfortable.
This is the one I got, though bought it new on ebay for less:
AIRHAWK Seat Cushion - Small Cruiser Seating System w/Cover - The ROHO Store
I also put grip puppies on which help reduce that vibration we have all come to know.
Overall, these additions greatly improve the comfort of the FZ6 and I look forward to extended riding now.
