    So when will you be installing the oxygen masks?

    Nice lateral thinking DIY there V4.

    Yeah, that's the new "cruiser" R small. 11 x 11 or something. I've been using the original larger R with a Corbin seat for about two years without issue.

    I can't take credit for the idea of installing the airhawk underneath the stock fabric. However, the removal of the seat foam to make the profile more flush was something I decided on, not sure if anyone else has bothered doing that.

    This worked out great. I did 700+ miles today. Rear was about as sore as using the normal airhawk setup. Knees and other joints were bothering me more. There's no way I would have been as comfortable with the stock seat sans the air cushion mod

    Nice update, glad to hear it worked out great. I'm in need of something for my seat...especially since it is shaved down to about nothing. My upcoming ride will definitely test me in that area. I'll keep your mod in mind. May try it this summer.

    Day 4 of my ride, still comfy. In fact, I think better off than the Corbin/airhawk r large combo I used last time.
