I'll be leaving for a weak long trip in a few weeks. My 16 RGU stock seat leaves a bit to be desired for long days. Upgrading the seat is just not an option right now. Beads, gel or sheapskin?

 

Backrest will make a lot of difference.

Beads and a back rest.

 

The idea about having a backrest is a good idea, it helped me. Also, I found that the more I rode, the more I bonded with the seat and it became more comfy for me.

 

I have a backrest. Hoping for opinions on the seat covers. Leaning towards beads right now.

 

It's sheepskin for long rides, works for me, Cool in summer, warm in winter.
Beads work too..

 

Check out AIR HAWK air cushions around 100$.

 

^^^What he said...play with the inflations..but keep it very low..and a backrest works wonders

 

Backrest for sure, I've had one on the last six bikes I've owned, never be without one.

Beads will help, so would a sheepskin.

 

I thought a sheepskin was hot. I just bought one of the HD seat cushion that is supposed to allow airflow. I will be putting my beads back on.
