Hey Guys,
I am in the process of ordering a new seat, I've heard different thing on this..... some say the Gel insert is great, other say it gets hot and hard after a while, please give your opinion on this, if you have it or tried it. is it worth getting????
I currently use a Gel and foam pad and love it, I am going to be sending my seat to mean City cycle to have the seat redone and will include the Gel insert.
I bought a LePera seat for my shovel about five years ago and had them add the gel insert when I bought it. What a difference it made! I would do it again but have no problems with the stock seat on the new bike, but I also don't mind getting back on the shovel now and then knowing I won't have those "hot" spots.
I had a LePera seat with gel on my Softail and I personally did not like it.The seat was harder and I felt more vibration on it.I put a Mustang seat on and I was happy again.You could always get the gel pad that go on top of your seat to see if you like it or not.They're easy on and easy off.
I had a gel insert installed in my 86 FLH about 9 years ago and love it. In fact, it made such an favorable impression, this year in Sturgis I had a gel pad installed in the seat of my 07 Ultra.
Had the Gel insert covered in memory foam done on my 97 RK on a HD lowprofile seat. Got rid of the pressure points and was able to ride all day. I would recommend it.
