I run the large cruiser on the 1300 I think the same would apply for the 1100

I have my seat modified as well however the Air Hawk is good value for those long rides  :thumbs :thumbs just remember dont put tooooooo much air in or its like riding on a balloon, less is best its all a matter of trial and error

Thanks for the info, I just have to work out the size. The 1100 is one piece seat.
The web site only lists for the 1300.
Cheers huffy

My experience is that an Airhawk will work well if you use it with a seat that you feel comfortable in ie: has the right shape to suit your backside.  If the seat doesn't really fit your behind the Airhawk will only offer marginal relief and your probably better off spending your money having your seat modified by a good auto trimmer.

I have mine about half to 3/4 full. This works for me.

As OzRider said trial and error.

I don't think they do one which covers the whole seat, pillion included... you would need two separate ones to do that.

I have the medium cruiser under a sheepskin on my single seat. I run only a small amount of air in it. I find it very comfortable especially for longer rides.
