Default Seat mod

BadX - last year you re-built the seat on my 2001 FLHTC by lowering me and pushing me back and using a different foam (I think). While the seat is much better, I see that you are using gel pads now. Is this a great improvement? How much would it cost to add the gel pads to my seat? Thanks
