You can get 'em for $150 delivered from
<http://www.cyclestuffusa.com/airhawk.html>. I paid about that at the
last motorcycle show. And, they're going to work better than atomic foam.
Atomic foam is certainly better than the stock foam, but good seat
design is more than just foam type or shape. It involves how the cover
stretches from the weight of your ischial tuberosities (ITs) and whether
you'll bottom out when the bike hits a bump. Skinny folks like Brian
place much more pressure on their ITs and need a different kind of seat
than chubbier folks like me. :-)
Motorcycle Consumer News had a great article on seat design in the
December 2002 issue.
