It is what it is.

No wonder. That's not an Alaska butt pad, looks more like a Dairyland butt pad and you know how cows smell.

I almost always love my stock BMW seats - with an Alaska Leather buttpad. It really does make all the difference!

What do you want the buttpad to do?? I tried a sheepskin buttpad and it was very comfortable, butt I gotta have some airflow down there or I get a (forgive the overshare please) rash.
I love my BeadRider seat AND the company is owned by a BMW rider!! All standard disclaimers (No affiliation, YMMV, etc.) apply - just a happy customer.

So I guess if you use the Dairyland butt pad you get a stinky Dairy Air???No wonder. That's not an Alaska butt pad, looks more like a Dairyland butt pad and you know how cows smell.

Good one
If you frost a turd it's still a turd. A leather seat pad will help improve any seat but it will make a small improvement.
Got one for my 2005 R1200RT original seat. Tried it on a number of trips, but did not notice any real difference in comfort.
Then spent bigger bucks for Sargent seats, and couldn't be happier - they will be a standard after-market upgrade on any future bike I may own.
Anyone want my barely used Alaska Leather Butt Pad - $20 (plus shipping) to whomever wants to go that route; just wasn't right for me. Drop me a line (greenwald@charter.net).
Ride Alert!
I bought a sheepskin butt pad at a local shop and put it over my beads and gel plad. so I now have beads, a gel pad, and the sheepskin over all. Looks nice and it sure made the riding nicer. I just finished four days. Pittsburgh to Albuquerque via the back roads of Kentucky, Missouri, Oklahoma and Texas. I loved my seat situation. I was able to ride 12-14 hours a day, admittedly with many gas and coffee breaks as well as some breaks to wait out thunderstorms. So my seat situation is fine, and I didn't have to buy a custom seat. Total cost, $35 for the beads, $70 for the gel pad and $44 for the sheepskin. I'm very happy with it and will not need to explore a custom seat!
