I'm looking at getting a seat pad for my Ultra. Which do you prefer, Airhawk, Gel pads, or Alaska Leathers' sheepskin pad?

I have an Airhawk and it rocks!!!! The beaity of it is that it doesn't get hot like gel. Personally, I think it's worth every penny but it takes a little getting use to. Of course, you're going to sit a little higher in the seat.

I use Alaska Leather all the time, 'cept in the rain, but I also stick a small closed cell foam pad under it for the long trips with 400+mile days. Does raise you up a bit. Seems to be better than the stock seat. I get off the bike every other gas stop.
