Default Inexpensive gel pad

I have been researching a seat pad for my 2008 FXDF. It seems like if you want a "motorcycle" pad you are looking at $100. I may have found an alternative. Go to REI and pick up the Trico Painkiller. It is designed for spinning and does not have a strap on it. I have a sheepskin pad already and it fits right under that. This is an x-large gel pad (other smaller sizes available) for $37. I could probably buy 4 of these for the cost of one "motorcycle" gel pad. I figured I might as well give it a try.

Dr. Scholl's foot pads. $5.99 at Walgreens. You can put them on your seat, or in your underwear.

Then your a$$ will be gellin'. They might even absorb some of that smell.

Looking at the design of it how do you think it will fit your seat? I will be interested to hear your review after trying it.

Saw this and decided to order one. Got a $120 gel pad for the wife but still needed one for me.
