gel seat cushion recomendation?
While a seat upgrade is definitely in the future, I've just laid out a pile of additional cash for stage1 and stage 2 mods for my new Fat Boy, and my wallet is currently in the ICU on life support.
In the meantime, until it has recovered sufficiently to explore seat upgrade options, I was hoping someone could recommend a pad I might use that helps. I see lots of options, so a recommendation will go a long way to helping me decide on one. Preferably one that doesn't affect my riding position or raise me up (much)
Cheers

When the time comes, have your seat modified, Mean City Cycles will do you right. They'll do exactly what you want. I recommend their HD memory foam. My brother did the Gel, it gets very hot under your azz, mainly because our bikes are air cooled. Gel is better suitable for a liquid cooled bike. JMO

Wild *** Seat pad! Best I’ve owned and use it regularly…. I’m sitting on an AirHawk on my office chair, neither of my AirHawk pads has been on a motorcycle since I purchased the Wild *** pad

I have a gel pad I got off of Ebay I used with my stock seat. I don't remember the brand, their are lots available, and surly they all will work
If you get one, I have a suggestion... when exposed to the sun, theses seats get extreemly hot, and stay hot. I carried a white towel, and draped it over the seat whenever I parked in the sun, problem solved.
I bought a Mustang solo tour seat, and seldom use the pad anymore.

Try one of the cheapy air bubble seat pads from Amazon. GrandPitStop is one of them.
You fill it about halfway you dont fill it the entire way because it works when the bubbles are half filled.
I wanna get one so I can ride my fat boy long distance with it's racing seat on so I can do overnight trips out to twisty mountains here.
I hear also that people use real lambskin pelt with the fur turned up and that helps a lot. Was told it's an oldschool chopper rider trick.
