Add on gel pad for the seat

[GaryM]

After an hour or two on the road butt starts to complain. I have heard gel seat pads work well and so far I see two options. I don't want to spend a few hundred on a new seat so I am looking at either having my stock seat opened up and a gel pad installed or something like this.

So, anyone have any experience or suggestions between the two?

Thanks!

I did the Spencer mod. Its better, but I think I need the leg support the $500 seat provides. I can go ~5 hours on the spencer.

+1 on the air hawk. I love mine! I keep just a very small amount or air in it and it made a huge difference.

I just got home from Daytona Bikeweek where I ran across a vender from California www.royalrider.com that sold gel pads in all shapes and sizes made from a killer gel topped off with a nice layer of Memoryfoam. They come in sheep skin or neoprene covering. $84 for our size seat. I bought one for the hell of it and the 4 hour ride back home yesterday was unbelievable! This thing is amazing. :yahoo:

+1 for Spencer's LD mod at GreatDayToRide.com. I just did Dallas to Jacksonville and back this past weekend on my modified Gen I. I do use an Alaska Leather sheepskin as well...

+1 on Spencers (stock seat) and +1 on the Airhawk (used on my Corbin). The Airhawk was the ticket for me...went from being able to tolerate a couple of hours to being able to ride all day long with zero problems (at that point, my knees start to bitch, lol). The trick to the Airhawk, that many people fail to understand, is to have it just barely inflated. That gives your arse a comfy suspended cushion while putting you IN the seat and not on top of it. Most people overinflate the Airhawk and, as a result, feel like they're going to roll off the seat when riding.

I've been working on my own, internal seat pad for the last few months. The process consists of ingesting large quantities of pizza and beer and eliminating all physical activity.

It also sseems to be turning into a tank-pad.

I'll let you know how it works out.

The best size for our seat is the Medium with the more pointed front end as opposed to the blunt one. I went with the neoprene cover in honor of my favorite Sheep Fecker from Michigan!

It's the one on the web site on the top right corner. You'll love it! It's Awesome!

I think Bust just doesn't want to be over-stimulated while riding.
