RE: You gotta get one!
Road kill look or not, I'm getting one for the other half. She's been toughing it out on some semi-short rides, but is determined to ride with me. Looks like I'll be getting one for the/her rear! She saw this post with link and that was the end of the discussion.

RE: You gotta get one!
Dude I'm happy for you, and even though I personally don't care how I look, I sure as hell care about how my bike looks. I've ridden from sunup to sundown and beyond on my stock seat and I bet I could match you mile for mile. I'll handle it even better when my Mustang solo arrives. But hey, each to is own I guess. If you don't mind the way it looks that's your prerogative. Ride safe!

Some people like to ride, and some people like to look cool.
I have a gel pad and a separate sheepskin from Alaskaleathers. I can out distance everyone I ride with and on the hottest days, I am able to stay cool. 14 hour days in the saddle are common for me. Since they help me accomplish that, I could care less what it looks like.

They come without the sheepskin covering also, besides ya can't see it when your sitting on it and I take it off when I park.
I'd rather be able to ride in comfort than anything else.
Everyone complains about seat comfort but when you suggest a fix, everyone complains about that. It was a good alternative to blowing money on an expensivecomfortable seat... there are other mods I'd rather do too my bike with the money.

RE: You gotta get one!
dhc, after the ride to Sturgis (about 700 miles) I bought a Mustang Seat for mine. I considered a gel pad as I was not really wanting to drop that many $ into a new seat at this time, but both times I went by the booth, no one was there.The ride back showed the new seat was worth the price.
Please let us know what you think about it after a couple of 300 to 400 mile days back to back. I for one would be extremely interested in seeinghow it performs on longerdistance runs.
While I won't say I dont care about how the bike looks, I would have given up short term the looks, for some relief.
