I understand the part about straps under the seat to attach to bike, but how does the AirHawk attach to the straps? Also, if you remove it for short rwhere its not needed, do the straps just stay under the seat and how far do they stick out? Thanks in advance for anyones input. Also, if Vic gets this question, you mentioned you'd be taking a long ride when you did your review. I too have a bit of extra height to deal with, did the AirHawk work out well for you and allow for any extra leg stretch? I know you don't add much air, but did it help at all? Thanks.

Small open metal clips (think of clips on removable bra straps) are on each end of elastic straps and they insert into nylon folded tabs on 4 corners of cushion. Easy to disconnect when you need to store cushion but straps often rebound and slip beneath my seat which requires seat removal to retrieve them. I have it found easier to use only the rear strap and slip it over rear of front seat. One strap is sufficient on my bike to hold cushion in place. Cushion when properly inflated adds little to seat height and therefore is not useful for raising height of seat.

the bottom of the seat has 4 loops Sewn in for the straps. I have never used them as this seat stays put and then I can remove it and stow it when we make a stop.if you added more air than needed you could raise the seat up probably nearly an inch. This seat is amazing on trips.

Rick, agree with the other comments. I use a small bungee on the front loops to hold it in place as well as make it a little more difficult for someone to steal it.

Straps attach to the seat by an open end clip on the straps attaching to the loops on the seat. It is very easy to take on and off. I leave the straps under the seats even when I am not using the Airhawk. The ends of the straps hang out about 1-2 " when not in use. I only use the front strap and front loops on the seat to hold it on. It does not take much to hold the Airhawk in place.

The short answer is no. Before I started to use an Airhawk I was having a lot of pain in my tailbone, however, I don't believe it will significantly relieve lower back pain. I have a back rest on my bike and it helps my back on long trips.

As stated earlier, this pack uses a Velcro strap to attach to the seat post and a buckle that loops through the underside of the seat. After the straps are tightened the Aero pack is quite secure. It definitely won't fall off accidentally. There can be some shifting sideways (less than 3/8") but it's not disruptive at all. What's best for you may depend on how you ride most of the time. If you use your bike to run errands, commute to work, exercise or just for fun this pack should work well. If you are a serious enthusiast (purist) or marathon rider the Aero pack may not be for you due to that added drag or weight. I like mine and find that it's a nice place to put my keys and emergency tools.

Hi Henry. Personally, I decided to "rig" mine a little differently. The supplied straps help but the bag will sway from side to side. I bought black shoe lace and looped it inside the supplied buckles, under the seat and back to the other side. If you do it right, you cannot see anything unless someone is looking for it. Made a big difference when riding.

How is your spoiler holding up since you wrote this comment? Are you carrying two bikes or one? I have a 2010 Honda Fit sport and was concerned that the instructions recommended not putting the straps over the spoiler. Thanks for your response

I have not yet worn this while riding but I have worn it for 13 hrs on 2 consecutive days and not felt like it was uncomfortable or cutting off circulation or anything.. The way they do the stitching on the back of the knee seems to make it not bunch as much. Now, the other day I sat in a low chair with no leg room and that wasn't comfortable (I'm 6'2" so my legs were very bent). I had to pull it off. Other than that, no problems. I think it would work great for cycling. Give me a week and I'll probably have taken it out on a ride. In any case, I don't think u can go wrong. It's about as comfortable a brace as I've ever had. Way better than the neoprene ones I've had.

If you're talking about a bicycle you'll just have to experiment. If you're talking about a motorcycle that depends on what brand and model you have. I have an 86 Honda Nighthawk and it can fit under my seat. You could try putting two more grommets(they sell the kits at hardware stores) on the end without them. Use a strong cord or small chains with carabiners to secure it to your bike. You can try it on top of the seat since you want to remove it with ease. If you find out it's still to long on the sides then you can take up the material in between the bags so it won't be so long. Hope this helps.

Looks like it would be a good fit. Make sure you measure your bike seat width X depth before purchasing. The Airhawk R measures at 15.25"W X 14"D.

Ummm well, how to describe.... Just secure it to the base, or anything that you can hook it to. The "leg"of the seat. It may end up restricting moving seat forward or back if you need to. But most time I personally don't move my seats much. If you do move it, then you can adjust straps again. Hope this helps?

Bike is Suspended by Nylon Rope to the ceiling. I believe if anyone really wanted Your Bike bad enough, this Hanging /Storage System would NOT prevent them from doing that? You could However remove a wheel and keep it inside or pad Lock Wheel before raising it up! Cheers! Curt &gt;~iii~&lt;( sure freed up a lot of room in My Garage!

It can be taken off quickly if you want to. One strap is Velcro and the other is a plastic clip you just squeeze it and pull the strap loose through the metal bars under your seat. It doesn't hit my legs as I have it attached under my seat. I have a dual sport bike so depending on the bike type I can't say for sure but with mine I don't hit my legs on it.

Hi Alice - Sorry I don't know. The one that I bought, I used on my Kawasaki sport bike. I just measured the size of my bike seat and took a chance on the one I bought using the measurements on the Airhawk website. I picked the one that looked closest to the size my bike seat.

You will need 2 inches of your seat post for the clamp wings to attach there. Measure 10 in. out level from the seat post. This is about where the seat begins to curve up into its handlebars and will give you an idea of how it will fit your bike. Call us if you think it is close and you are worried. We might have some other solutions for you. Let's get you riding!

Hi Hanna, I used a medium on my dynaglide lowrider and did fine.large may be better in your case.I should have given a testimonial by now though as to how awesome it works.I did a 2400 mile trip and was able to do 350 to 700 miles a day with that crazy pad. I WENT FROM NACOGDOCHES TEXAS to Oak Harbor wa. I was never able to do more than 50 miles on a bike b4 w/o my tailbone hurting!! It was the only way I could afford to move the bike to my new home.This is an amazing devise.i followed the instructions.I barely put any air in it.I stopped for fiel everu 135 to 145 miles and only had the mildest version of saddle soarness.vertualy none! I think it took 5 days at 65mph to make the trip.Hope this helps.God bless.

Hey I don't ride a NC700x but I ride an 08 Yamaha FZ6 and it does fine with my exhaust pipe being right next to the bags because it comes under the seat. So my bags somewhat sit on the pipes. But looking at a picture of your bike I know that your set up would be more preferable. I would give it an eye ball measurements that if you have at least a foot 1/2 or so between the bottom of your back seat to the exhaust then you should be good and like I said my bags sit touching the exhaust and I've had yet to have an issues. Also I have an extra set of these bags in gray with all accessories I'm thinking about getting rid of because I order one set but got one as a gift. If interested rodney4hk@yahoo.com. I love these bags the only thing for my Fz6 my turn signal lights are slightly in the way for if I wanted to open the zipper on the bottom for more space and that may be the case with your bike as well as far as the exhaust being in your way if you needed to make extra space in your bags. I think they work great being a college student it really helps me going shopping since I don't have a car.

You want an Airhawk II in the Large Cruiser. AH2 Large Cruiser. You will put to much air in it at first, then you will figure out it just needs enough air to keep you butt off the seat. I have four Airhawk seats, never went back to sun roasted gels, and drive 650 miles with no problems on the Softtail Fatboy lo. You will love this seat once you learn to use just a little air.

It's not under the seat. It is on the rear of the bike. Couple inches from the actual seat. Tiny little hole. Very hard to find, instructions are useless. They give you a some decals to make those areas but the instructions even for that is terribly written. Good luck on the bike. It lasted 15 minutes and died for my grandson.
