Airhawk = yes I use one Paul - it is the 'Rolls Royce' for your bum!-but it is also an extra item that needs looking after (very desireable and removeable... but it is waterproof unlike my alternative now which is the good old fashioned sheep skin - good ones available for about £11
A wee bottle of Neatsfoot oil is great when you wash your sheepskin that will get dirty to give new life & flexibility to the skin.
As I use mine as a pillow too, as soon as it rains..off it comes from the seat and into a plastic bag!
I had a new set of Andy Strapz but sold them- they are very good - probably the best soft bag option around IMHO-but they did not suit my needs- - as I prefer the security/volume and weight carrying capability offered by MM's- Soft luggage has its advantages but when it comes to sticky fingers.... there are many posts of people having stuff/tools etc pinched from them. Horses for courses- each has his/her own preferences- I dislike top boxes
+1 as Nigel Marx said for Mitas E07's
I have Scottoiler on the 650 - as well as using a DID-X-ring 520 chain but remember to clean and dry the chain and to turn OFF the oiler before riding in sand!
