Pretty simple. Took mine apart, carved it where I wanted it changed and installed gel pads. Use an electric carving knife on the seat foam. Very easy do-it-yourself project.

 

I bought an extra stock seat and backrest. I took them to a local bodyshop where I have done business before. The interior guy cut down the seat and put in some memory foam. I think it looks great and I feel more comfortable on the seat.

 

I was going to suggest the same compan. I have their business card sitting on my desk. I saw some of their work at a rally and was thinking about having a seat done myself.

 

I got cover off and ordered gel,wainting on gel to trace out foam,going to take pics and post so others can see....

 

Where do you get gel pads or memory foam?

 

its my understanding that gel isn't really all that it's cracked up to be. it holds the heat in the summer, the cold in the winter, and it doesn't compress at all so you end up with 'hot spots'

this is just second hand info as i have never done any distance on a seat with gel. ymmv

 

I got mine the propad.com for mc seats 3 sizes

 

I just read a thread on this forum last night that covers exactly what your asking for. If you back out of this section and scroll down toward the bottom were there is a section with all the forums sponsors you will find Mean City Cycles. I think there was only 3 or so threads so it shouldn't be hard to find. Any way, one of there customers brought in a seat to be redone and photographed the whole procedure. Lots of pics with comments and the owner of the business even posts later to explain what he had done. Should help you out. Good luck and let us know how it turns out.

 

Ok heres what happen,took of cover freeked out took to local upholstery shop told him i wanted foam out gel in its place.....he took out foam installed gel pad plus memory foam pulled cover back on 150.00 out the door,looks factory,but feels great....i did call meancity,100.00 for memory foam only plus shipping...so i came out fine imo.......
