Airhawk, Seat Beads or Somthing Else?
I think sometimes the seat on my Forza feels a little firm over longer distances, so I was considering an Airhawk, maybe some seat beads or something else to make it more comfortable over when doing longer rides. I had an Airwak on my old motorcycle and it worked wall, but not sure what the best size Airhawk for the Forza would be or for the seat beads for that matter. Anyone have any insight? Thanks for any help.

How big are you? Height? Weight? Where are you?
Get your ass stronger.
Wear silky style underwear. Cotton is not good. I wear a Walmart polyester / spandex boxers & long underwear base layer all year.
I want to try Merino Wool but I am poor.
You are American so I can probably say "Loose Weight"
I have over 100,000 miles on my 2014 Forza 300. The seat is good for me BUT I am 5 foot 6 and 170 pounds.
I have also tilted the handlebars down a bit so that I am in a bit of a sport bike crouch. I wedge my ass against the hump.
Some of you guys are just too big for the Forza. Buy something that fits.
I hit a ski jump bump on the highway the other day. It was a really badly repaired highway section that had been washed out in a flood.
My ass and feet were both in the air, stadium dirt bike style, with just my hands on the bars. I got a lot of air time. I don't know if any of the DEVICES would have stayed on the Forza. I came down hard at 100 kmph. I was scared.

I use a medium Airhawk. Works fine for me, just don't put too much air in it.

I use this one:

It's cheap and has served me well for Iron Butt rides on 2 motorcycles and 1 scooter
Cheers

Thanks for the replies. I was looking at an Airhawk, but am curious where one would find a sheepskin to fit the Forza?
