I find the seat on my 06 Softail standard uncomfortable on longer rides. I was thinking of buying a gel pad to put on the seat. Does anybody have any expirience with them? Do they add some comfort?

 

I had C&C seats put gel pads in my old Sportster and my Deluxe. They do add a bit of comfort. I don't like the ones that sit on top of the seat and haven't tried them. I guess if they'll stay in one place and not move when you move, they'd be fine. But in the seat is a better option.

 

I dont care for the ones that sit on top of the seat either, but I would try them first before I had one installed in my seat then found out I didnt like it

 

I tried one that sat on my seat.I didn't last 5 miles on it .Felt wierd

 

I have both the gel and the badlander and my *** likes the badlander better. The lepera gel looks great but for lond distances my choice is the Badlander.

 

I bought one and did not like it. It sits in my workshop. Waste of $$ IMHO. If you want to buy a used one, PM me.

 

I bought one years ago for my Sportster before my first trip to Myrtle Beach Bike Week.

When we got there the maker had a booth at Murrels Inlet. I traded them the pad and had it installed inside the seat.

It did wonders to take a lot of the felt vibration out of that old '93 Sportster!

A friend of mine that got out of bike riding gave me one last week. It sits on top of the seat. I'm going to try it out on a trip to the New River Gorge area of WV in about a week.

 

I have a pro-pad that I use with the Corbin when I'm going to be on it for more than 5-6 hours. It stays in place and feels really good. Only downside is the slight increase in height, and that isn't a problem.

 

I have a gel seat by saddlemen. Not bad but i switched to a mustang vintage sport solo with pillion. AMAZING difference. LOVE my mustang!
