hi first post have an 07 ultra and just came back frommyrtle beach where i had gel pads installed in me stock seat.seat was very uncomfortable on the long ride down so i thoughtgel pads would help which they did but now it seems the gel pad get hot from the heat of the engine on hot days that my butt burns any ideas would help

 

Try a sheep skin cover to help with the heat

 

Check out beads here. I haven't tried them but from those who have, I understand they work well for heat.

 

Have tried the BEADS on my past Putts... They worked well & seemed to keep the air flow under our butt... But don't know how well they may work with the gel pad???

 

I have an '07 UC, also. I put Kuryakin heat shields on mine. They help keep the heat off my legs tremendously. Harley sells some also, but the Kuryakin's look better to me. I'm not sure if that would help the gel padded seat. My seat is still stock...

 

thanks for the input and info

 

ialso have the heat shields plus stage 1 kit high flow air cleaner plus v&h ovals plus stage 1 download which i was told would let the engine run cooler but doesn't help on hot days

 

I use a $.94 tied string door mat from wally world. Dont laugh it works. Its made of strips of polyester/nylon in multi colors. I also have stage 1 V&H ovals and JRS Originals heat shields. I also powder the backside really well, But we wont go there!!! After you get 10k miles the heat will slow down a little.. Ride safe. Dan
