Thanks for posting this. Now I know it's the first one that you posted. It's the "pro pad" and it's the same size.  http://www.whitehorsegear.com/pro-pad-air-series-seat-cushions

I'll be ordering soon.

  Mr. Seedman and old Drifter here are some pictures of my seat pad and some measurements. I tried to find it on the web and seems they might not make them anymore.

The one I have is the Air Series seat pads. Second top row in the first picture.
First pictures shows the rubber bottom with the 2 straps to hold it in place on the seat.
Second picture is of the weaved top sort of a net type of top.
Third picture is of the weave and it is deep and dense sort of a cushion, very comfy.
Fourth is the tag on the pad and it has a phone number 800-403-2714, then it says propadinc.com the rest is wore out
last picture shows the measurements I got off the pad.......

I would like to pose a question regarding seat pads/cushions...I have a stock 2001 solo seat on my 800. It looks very comfortable and for the first 15 or 20 miles it feels okay..BUT...after that it really starts to make my butt ache...I usually do a round trip of about 80 miles or so going out to my research farm and it gets really uncomfortable about halfway there and back.  My wife is not going to let me spend the money on a Corbin or other aftermarket seat, so I was wondering if anyone can recommend a seat pad/cushion that would help alleviate the issue.  I am not a small guy (6 ft - 230lb), but I have an old man flat butt.  My budget is $100 or less......anyone?

Thanks.

Actually, the whole job only took about an hour.  I watched a couple of episodes of Family Feud while I did it, and when they were done, so was I.

I'm not sure yet, but he looked pretty excited to have it, so I'd guess so.

OR, I was in your same boat on my 2up seat.  I searched around and found a set of gel pads from Saddleman that I scored for about $80 and I peeled back my seat cover and carved out some of the foam, then restapled the cover back in place.  Solved the problem completely!  One word though.....you need a high powered staple gun to sunk the staples into the plastic seat pan.  You'll need a really good electric one or an air powered one to do it right.  Here's what it looked like when I was installing the gel pads:  http://s83.photobucket.com/user/pcarrell/library/Drifter/Drifter%20Seat?sort=3&page=1  I used silicone sealer to attach some thin foam over the gel pads so you wouldn't be able to feel the edges of the gel pads when it was done.  Indian Fan has the seat now, and he can vouch for it's comfort I'm sure.
