Default Heartland Rocker Seat Re-done

Had my Heartland Rocker seat recovered in black ostrich.
Also had my guy move me about 1" forward and added the "biker gel" to improve on the comfort level a bit for the longer rides.

Definitely compliments the bike. Does the gel really make a difference on the long runs? I've been looking at throwing one of those gel pads (air hawk I think they are called) on the seat.

Man I like it!!! I think I'm going to get my heartland seat reworked also. It is just to plain stock.

If you don't mind me asking, how much does having something like that done???

Set me back $300, but I feel it was worth every penny...

For me that would be a small price to pay for comfort

was adding the gel what moved you forward? or did he add extra padding?

i got a danny gray for my rocker with the gel but i don't want to end up sitting closer to the bars then i am now.

The gel is on the seat bottom per say and he added foam to move me forward. Had it done local here in Irwin, Pa. I was really impressed with the turn around time. One week total from the day he ordered the material until it was done. PM me if anyone wants his info.
