Default Danny Grey Solo Seat With or Without Gel Insert?
Anyone rocker owners out there have the Danny Grey Solo seat with the Gel insert and if so what are your thoughts? Is it worth the extra 100$ and how does it compare to the seat without the gel insert.

Thanks

You in dubai or abu dahbi? I heard gel takes a few thousand to break in, and if it gets gold it get hard but you shouldnt have that cold problem unless you go to the indoor skiing hahahaha

It is well worth the $100. It is not really a gel, it is actually a viscolastic dry polymer, it has no break in period, and does not freeze up. Mine has been on my bike for three years, rode 932 miles in one day on it, and is one of the best investments I have made.

$300 brand new on ebay, ($325 shipped) with gel insert.

Can't comment on without the insert, since I went from the stock seat to the DG.

Haven't ridden one without the gel, but it's definitely a good investment. I can ride 10 times longer than I could with that stock seat! Man I wish I would have looked on EBAY first!

LooL! The old souk was knocked down about 5 or 6 years ago man and replaced a mall and buildings =(

Seems like you lived here for a while how long ago was that?? You should visit again and check out all the changes. Make sure you ship your bike over with you though
