During the ordering process, for my new buttpad, the Forum was offered a 10% Discount. Very pleasant customer service as well!

 
So how's it fit, how's it look and most important of all how's it do?

Are you putting this on top of a stock saddle?

Did you go single or did you add the pillion too?

[it didn't happen without pics]

 
I have an Alaska Leather pad I have been using for a year and it looks very good on the stock seat and works very well for longer rides to keep the dreaded "monkey butt" away. I don't have one for the pillion.

Cooler and softer is better. They are a good product for the money.

 
What size did ya'll go with? And... what is required to get the discount?

 
I bought a Mad Cow sheepskin buttpad from them last summer

at the BMWMOA. I think it was a medium. I love the seat, but

the colors rain a little(black-to-white) after the first rain. It looks

better now with time. They gave me the seat to try on my bike

at the rally before I bought it which was very nice on their part.

I also use their helmet holders on my garage wall too.

 
Picture of a medium. It did ok over the stock seat on a 600 mile ride but I don't think I could have gone much longer. I've since completed a SS1000 on an airhawk and never once had concerns with the seat. I keep the Alaska Leather for shorter in state trips.
