    Do you use seat pads?

    Our dear designers at Triumph must have butts of steel. The seat is uncomfortable on long journeys.
    Do you use AIR FLOW or gel overlays?

    I use an Airhawk sometimes and other times I use a sheepskin.  I will agree with you though: the designers must have buns of steel!!

    I have the Airflow (same as CoolCover) and it makes a big difference.

    What were your thoughts on the seat pad that you ordered?  Is it comfortable?  That sure is the right price.

    My pillow hasn't arrived yet.
    When I get it, I'll answer your question.
    If you are asking about the price - in China this price is normal. I buy a lot of electronic components there for 10% of the price in the store - so everything is ok.

    On my 2015 gen1, my pillion and I used Airhawks.  Uncomfortable seats, they helped.

    On my 2018 gen3, we both felt they weren't needed.  Seats more comfortable.

    For my recent roundOz ride, I bought a Cool Cover for the expected heat.  It was too cool on the cool mornings, but an unexpected benefit was the extra all-day riding comfort it gave.  I still had to jiggle my bum and stand up occasionally between fuel stops, but it was better.
