    Airhawk size for Varadero

    Ok starting to think about my age now and TLD.
    Have the zimmer frame and the tea tray strapped on the varadero but need to take care of the old piles (yew too much information I know)

    so what is the best size / shape airhawk?
    Cruiser medium size? Or the big cruiser one?

    I went for the biggest in the end.
    I have used it for a couple of hour rides so far and it suits my big ar@e - I am still getting the volume of air right.

    Also it works on the @ too.
    Thanks for the feedback

    Just used the AirHawk on TLD 2010 and I can report it was superb.

    Once you get used to the feel of the ride on it then it is great.
    TOok a while to get the air volume right but sorted and spot on

    Double wammy is that it doubled up as a pillow while camping!

    I've been using a sheepskin seat cover (the back out of the wife's sheepskin coat - it was an old one) on long journeys recently. Highly recommended

    I use an Airhawk but the straps holding on to the saddle are pants...
    so if you get one expect to work on a modification
    I'm going on a trip!
