| Works really well in hot weather and allows some air flow. It’s also nice to take on and off just to keep from getting saddle sore. Ride safe |

| It helps in comfort for maybe an extra half hour riding time over stock seat before you need to take a break. Does give some insulation for cooling. Could use some heavier strength stringing lines holding the beads. Feels like if used consistently for a long length of time it will start unraveling and become useless. You will then be chasing your beads. |

| It's decent enough, but it's not perfect. The finish was pretty gloppy on mine (they're just wooden beads painted black, but mine looks like someone poured a bucket of black paint over a pile of wooden beads). The monofilament line used in the construction seems far too thin and some of it is doubled up while other parts aren't, but only time will tell if it holds up. My biggest irritant, though, is that the front bungee hooks are about 2-3" longer than they need to be, which requires me to cut them down in order to make them actually function as retaining hooks. It might be a small point, but when you're selling a seat cover for a GL1800, it would help if it actually *fit* a GL1800 without the user having to modify it. I guess at the price I paid for it, it's hard to complain. That aside, it's unfortunate that we live in a world where a sentence like that is commonplace. |

| I have been using beads for 15 years on my 2003 wing and recently purchased these for my 2019 wing. I removed the 2 front hooks and just tied the cords together so that I could attach it to the bike without removing the seat. works great so far. |

| The seat works well, and does what it's advertised to do, but the fishing type cord that holds the bead together is weak. I dragged my foot across it three times getting off the bike (yes I stand on the peg when dismounting), and it snapped the line and the beads came apart. OK, guess I need to be more careful, but this line can't be expensive, why not use heavier gauge or double it up? |

| I've used these on both my 2008 and 2018 Wings. With over 12 years and over 150,000 miles they work great, Thank you WingStuff for making me a happy Winger. |

| I heard a lot of good things about adding beads to my 2018 seat (which has had the Wingsoft mod done) but this just didn't work for me. 4 hour trip was all I could take and I gave it to a buddy of mine to see if it might work for him. Guess I'm just the exception to the rule! |

| Got these for my second Goldwing. First pair have proved to be a must have on long hot trips. A don't take them off until the temp drops in the 40's. Love them! |

| I've always had saddle problems. I've tried different seats, pads, sheep skin, etc., and have found that there is no universal solution that fixes everyone. Each person's weight, shape, age, and bike, affects their comfort level. I have an Air Hawk pad that I used for a year or two and it's pretty good. But I've known people that like bead mats so I saw this one for a good price and tried it. I have only used my Air Hawk once since I purchased this bead mat and that's when the mat fell apart and I had to repair it. Then I went right back to the mat and have used it for a year now. Yes, part of my bead mat came apart but I just sewed it back together. After that single repair it's been fine. But I don't hook mine down to the seat. I leave it loose so that I can move it around if I need to. The beads aren't like round marbles, they are more elongated beads. I can hardly believe that I like this simple thing so much and just paid 25 bucks for it and it's the best answer for me so far. |

| As a long distance rider, I start out with this amazing little piece of relief in the trunk, after about 6 hours I put it on the seat, it is almost like just starting out all over again. Does not take up much room when stored which is an added bonus. On really hot days I use it all day long, makes a big difference for me. |

| We purchased two, one for each seat, before a long trip down the East Coast. Both the wife and I felt that it made a difference and we could spend more time in the saddle before having to get off and walk around. They've held up for over 4K miles now without any issues. Only negative, they do leave impressions on the stock seat, but those eventually go away. |
