RE: Gel seats
Skip,
Were you able to insert the gel pads yourself or did you have someone do it for you? I checked them out on JPCycles website, but I was a little confused on how the slip in. I assume you have to remove the vinyl from the seat, intall them and they reattach the cover. How did you do it? Thanks!

RE: Gel seats
Sorry it took so long for me to get back.
I originally used the pad in a worn out stock Heritage seat. I think the stock seats are too thick, make me feel like I'm on top of instead of down in the bike, and are oogly to boot. I pulled the cover off, carved the foam to the thickness I wanted, hollowed out the center portion of the seat, and shaped the gel pad so it would fit inside the hollowed out area. Worked pretty good for a year. Finally chunked the seat as the passenger part was trashed, too. Bought a LePera Cherokee for me, and change it out to a Mustang touring seat when THE MAMA rides pillion. I'll use the gel pad on the LePera when it wears out some.
