I have the Airhawk 2 and it works better than beads, gel pad, sheepskin or anything else I tried to improve the crappy stock seat on my 2011 America. The Airhawk 2 works great, if you just make sure you do not put in too much air. I put in just enough air to feel like the seat is not totally flat, and that seems to make the ride much more comfortable. I'm 69 (today!) and need some more comfort that the stock seat offers, especially for rides over an hour.
