I understand the part about straps under the seat to attach to bike, but how does the AirHawk attach to the straps? Also, if you remove it for short rwhere its not needed, do the straps just stay under the seat and how far do they stick out? Thanks in...

Hello Rick. I don't even use the straps. If you intend to keep the airhawk on your seat all the time then by all means, use the strap, but it's a pain to take it off and put it on in case you don't want it stolen or for it to get wet or hot. The airhawk has loops on all corners for the straps and they seem to be sewed in well and gets secured very well on the seat. I just put the airhawk on my seat and adjust it to a position I like and just sit on it. In fact, its advantageous simply because you can readjust it even on the go. It does not slide. The bottom part has a non skid material and my corbin seat is not as slick as the factory seat. I carry mine sometimes in restaurants or just stick it in my saddle bag. I don't ride without the airhawk anymore. I've taken several weekend and week long trips up to 3k miles and realized how much it helped me. If you ride long trips, you will feel a significant difference. I use it 90% of the time. I will get on my corbin occasionally just to change butt pressure. As to how to air it, I would suggest for you to go to youtube. Theres a great instructional video there. I followed it and every now and then I would blow in a bit more air or let out some just to change my seating pressure and ride a few more hundred miles. As to the height adjustment, it was noticeable for the first few hundred miles, but after a few months, I adapted to it. Being higher seemed to put a bit more strain on my midback, that's when I take it off 10% of the ride including doing a few more stretches of my midback. I don't think you'd regret getting it and probably will endorse it as well. Good luck. Gene (vonlushka@hotmail.com)

How did you secure the car seat to the airplane seat? That was another big problem of mine. You said, "one of e harness solutions." I only know of one that's FAA approved for takeoff and landing. What ones do you know of?

The U-bolts fit under your cars rooftop cross bars and the wheel clamps attach to the tire rails. Make sure all bolts are secure. Raise the wheel clamps over the front tires (only) and close down the wheel clamp securely. I've used mine a couple of times with two bikes on the roof of my SUV and will be doing it again in two weeks for a 13 mile ride around the Cades Cove Loop in GSMNP. You don't have to be an engineer to figure this one out, it all fits together nicely, is very light weight and our two bikes have traveled up there at 70-80 mph without problems. Good luck, have fun.

If has straps that fasten along the top of cage. At the botton you have velcroe strips that attach behind the seats and on the back panel behind the seats. I put in on but have it off right now since I am adding other equipment. I also did not want to drive it on my trailer until I install the front 2 part full windsheild to break the wind when I haul it to the mountains.

If you're talking about a bicycle you'll just have to experiment. If you're talking about a motorcycle that depends on what brand and model you have. I have an 86 Honda Nighthawk and it can fit under my seat. You could try putting two more grommets(they sell the kits at hardware stores) on the end without them. Use a strong cord or small chains with carabiners to secure it to your bike. You can try it on top of the seat since you want to remove it with ease. If you find out it's still to long on the sides then you can take up the material in between the bags so it won't be so long. Hope this helps.

I think the Airhawk R is a great choice. It measures approximately 15.25"w x 14"d. Just be sure to measure your bike seat before you buy this cushion.

There are 2 Velcro straps that connect the 2 bags. These can be placed on top of the saddle or under it. It would look cleaner to run these under the saddle, but if you want to easily remove the bags then on top is the way to go. Also there are adjustable straps at the inside front and rear of each bag that are used to keep the bags from shifting. Usually the front strap would loop around the pillion foot peg or frame. The rear strap would loop around the turn signal, license plate, or connect to the other bag.

i mounted left and right bags to my electric chopper bike, set the bike off, not alot of storage, i did it for the looks, there well built and easy to install, there quick release so you don't have to un-buckle every time, you'll love them if heat from your pipes is not an issue, try them you can always send them back, mine fit perfect, wish i could post a picture, hope this is of some help, good luck

the wheels jsut set down in the parts slide to fit the bike and then you push down on the thing that go on the top bar of the bike and it fits tight and the bike will not move at all. it is a very good and keeping the bike in place and it does not move. you do not need any straps at all that is why i bought this one. i like it because it fits all types of bikes and different sizes. it keeps the bike standing up and the wheels and the bike does not move at all going down the road.

Hi Alice - Sorry I don't know. The one that I bought, I used on my Kawasaki sport bike. I just measured the size of my bike seat and took a chance on the one I bought using the measurements on the Airhawk website. I picked the one that looked closest to the size my bike seat.

I use this behind my mountain bike. Yes you can use straps from the two together. I did that the first time however since then I just sit my child on one side. I am happy with the product so far. The only other comments I have are to consider carriers with shocks and also have something to spray to kill any tiny critters that may find a home while stored in the garage. Last ride something bit my child on the back of the legs even with pants on.

It has a Velcro patch connecting them at the top and a strap that runs across the top too. It didn't seem to sit well on my bike, though. I would make sure u have some support bars or something to keep them off the wheel and chain

It comes with metal braces that go forward from the rack to mount under the seat to the bike frame.As I do not know where the holes are one your bike, I cannot say if they can be used or not. The end of the bracescome with a plastic/rubber coated clamps that can go around the bike frame and firmly clamp to the frame. Just bend the braces to conform with the angle needed. If you have screw holes already in the frame, I suspect you could just anchor thebraces there, not using the clamp. It came with everything I needed to mount it to my granddaughters' bike with no problem.It's a good rack that came on my bike so I bought one for her.

It absolutely should not do that and it is dangerous (potentially deadly) to rely only on that strap. Is your rack properly mounted? It almost sounds like the front of it is not anchored to your bike frame. If you are unsure, please, PLEASE take your bike to a bike shop/mechanic before you ride with a child in there.

You will need 2 inches of your seat post for the clamp wings to attach there. Measure 10 in. out level from the seat post. This is about where the seat begins to curve up into its handlebars and will give you an idea of how it will fit your bike. Call us if you think it is close and you are worried. We might have some other solutions for you. Let's get you riding!

Hey Rachel I just ordered this a week ago and it attached pretty easily to my bike. It should have included an anchor that bolts directly onto the rear of your bike, on the opposite side of the rear derailleur. Search for username 'AOSOMCOM' on YouTube, they have a few instructional vids :) hope this helps, love the trailer!

I sent mine back because the air flows from compartment to compartment if you shift your weight. I bought a cheap life cushion, took the layers of foam out of it and custom cut pieces and glued them up to make a seat that fit me onto my bike seat and then took that to an upholsterer who examined what I was doing and sewed me a cover for it with straps that fasten it to the under frame of the seat. Total cost $45. Happy.
