12" x 12" Bead Rider Seat

My ride is a 16' Harley Davidson Road Glide.Ok, so I skeptical. How can beads, take away pressure points AND monkey butt? The price was reasonable so I figured I'd give it a try. It's simply amazing. Here in the swamp of Atlanta, GA the air flow under your naughty bits is life changing. The Harley's seat, far from uncomfortable is much better. The added air flow underneath you keeps you dry and comfortable all day!The beads themselves are painted black and seem to be holding up well. I've been caught in the rain, and unlike other users didn't find they bled onto my clothes. They only downside I've found is they leave little "dimples" on the saddle which eventually disappear. The elastic that holds them in place works great.Wish I learned about them sooner.

I have use other types of pads, Even the expensive Airhawks. By the end of the day I was continually shifting to get comfort. They never seem to get the job done. So I decided to use Beads. I just got back from a 7 day 2000 mile ride in September using the Beads. I could easily ride the day away without any pain. The Beads tend to message your rear end. Fact is, I plain forgot to check my pain level, because there was none. The down side is if you wear any protective pants with a nylon type base you do tend to slide around like you are on ice. But you get use to it. Wearing jeans it doesn't happen. That's really not a drawback, but If I had a complaint, that would be as close as it gets. I would definitely recommend at least giving them a shot. They worked for me!

Great for long distance riding, lets the air move underneath you so you don't get monkey butt.

Fits great on my 2005 triumph tiger. Works just as advertised. Comfortable on long rides. Keeps my rear cool and dry in wet weather.

I have used the beads for years and they allow for a cooler ride in the summer heat. This is my second set and I would recommend them as part of your riding gear.

This is my second beadrider. The first one only lasted me 5 years. "Only". I bought it used from someone who had also used it for 5 years. So make it 10. :) They're durable. And ridiculously functional. I've got at least 4 other riders at work converted - each one of them said "I cannot believe how well it flows air AND how comfortable it is". Airflow is a huge benefit to these things - in fact on cool rides you may wish you didn't have them on. And on hot days, well, butt just stays comfy. They work on corbins, sargents, stock seats, whatever you use, you'll improve your comfort with a beadrider. Really.Just don't get one that's too small. It should wrap a little over the edges of the seat as the picture shows, otherwise you'll get pressure points under your legs or butt where it ends.jt

After 39 years of riding street bikes, I finally discovered the benefits of bead seats last year. Initially I experimented with a cheap one purchased at an auto parts store, cutting it down and trying it on long rides. I was sold after the 1st day. I continued to use the cheapie through last year but it was unraveling, so I purchased 4 of the Bead Rider brand,12" x 12". They are mounted on a '97 Bandit 1200, '02 V-Strom 1000, & '03 SV1000. . I refuse to ride without one. Expensive aftermarket seats aren't required anymore. I reshape the stock seats for correct slope and dish, and throw the bead seat on. Yes, your seat cover takes a bit of a beating. Remove the bead seat occasionally, especially after a rain ride, and just clean up the dust and dirt. I've had Corbin seats (never again!) and Russell Day Long seats (best on the market). Even the fabric cover on the Russell did not work as well on hot days as the bead seat.
