Sheepskin or Beadrider?

[Don in Lodi]

I just returned from 5 days in the North Carolina mountains. I used a sheepskin and the bead rider. By the time I returned home in Indiana, I could barely walk as I had developed some serious welts. So I am ready to trash both the sheep skin and the bead rider. I am going to go buy the new air hawk today that came out this spring to fit dual sport seats. It is called the air hawk ds cruiser, 11 1/2 inches deep and 11 inches wide. Hope this solves the problem. Jbird

Hmm, a buddy of mine has been to the Arctic Ocean once and to the Circle a couple times, plus a few cross country runs on the same bead rider on his GS. Swears by the thing.
LOL, I'll take the bead rider off your hands if you want. Did you get the wood or the newer hi-bred ceramic?

I have actually had the beads for about 10 years and used them on my Yamaha Royal Star Venture and they worked great on that seat. But on the Tenere, they are just too hard for my butt. I did OK these past few days when I only rode about 5-6 hours in a day. But when I came home, it was a 10 hour day and 440 miles and I was done in. Jbird

The medium cruiser pad is sized perfectly for the Tenere. It's 14" x 14". I'm concerned that the ds cruiser might be too small. Let us know how it works out.

Thank you Paul for that heads up on the medium cruiser pad fitting perfectly. I will go with that.
