My Airhawk seat cushion went years ago, didn't think it was much good, got a decent Russell Daylong saddle front and rear, don't recall model.

My ST1300 was the 2008 model and I had a fitted lambs wool seat cover. I found it very comfortable for long days in the saddle. I also have an  Airhawk for the VStrom and one for the Himalayan.
I found the lambs wool better than the Airhawk for the ST in terms of comfort. I have a Sit & Fly mesh cover for the Vstrom which is fine for local rides but if more that say 300km then the Airhawk gets thrown on. The Himalayans seat feels like it's made of teak with a film of foam wrapped over it so there is an Airhawk on it permanently.
My 2 cents - get the fitted lambs wool cover ($315 + postage I'm guessing). An Airhawk at $170ish (& $160 for pillion - if you get both it's more expensive than the lambs wool) is ok but not as good as lambswool (IMHO). I'm told the Russell Day Long seat is the very best - but I've better things to spend my $'s on, given the lambswool suited me fine. I don't reckon you'd get any change out of $1,000.00 + postage times 2 and that's just for the riders seat.

Model for the Airhawk - not sure they look to have changed the designs. I'd say both are the touring seat. and they look like they're the medium cruiser but a bit smaller. I'd say with the current models the Airhawk RL would be the best for the ST

I have 2 airhawks under a lambswool on my ST1300.  Nice and comfy and the sheepie keeps the airhawks in place and thief proof (I've known them to be stolen).  From memory I bought the 14 inch version.

When I had my ST1300 I had a airhawk seat cushion which I found very good
But swapped it out with a Sargent seat which I found excellent
I didn’t need the Airhawk on the Sargent seat as I found it flat and comfortable
I don’t remember the size I used

I picked up an Airhawk 2nd hand, and it was OK.

Later I got a 2nd hand Corbin seat, and that was great.

Then I swapped the Corbin with another Corbin with a longer rider's saddle, and that was excellent. I did quite a few all-day rides in that saddle and loved it.
