I'm not sure how much gel wll help. Some like it, some don't. I bet your *** gets used to the new seat if you give it some time. More firm doesn't necessarily mean less comfortable. Give it a month of good riding....you'll get used to it. BTW, it looks MUCH better than your old seat. Good purchase.
I'll give your suggestion a try first tho' D.M - could save me some money!

There are 2 seats in a riders life......... one when you're young, and one when you're old.
If ya ride long enough and are anywhere close to age 60, you'll be looking for one of those "couch" seats...... trust me.
You're bones get a little stiffer, butt padding gets a little thinner, back gets a little weaker. It's just a matter of time.

That does look a lot better. It's amazing what seats cost these days. It pays to be patient and wait for good used stuff to pop up. I recently scored an original black leather seat off of a rare CVO FXDWG3 for $75. It converts from solo to 2-up by removing 2 bolts.

I'll use the nice looking seat for short day runs, but for anything more than a couple of hundred miles I'll pop the "couch" seat (which I'll keep) back on. It may look like a disaster but it IS very comfy!

Seat looks good. Still waiting on my sundowner (solo) to arrive, and hoping it doesn't look too out of place. Have a La Pera (Maverick, I think) at the moment, but it gets real uncomfortable and painful after an hour or so. I'll keep it for 2-up rides, but the sundowner should give me some touring comfort this summer
