Default Passenger Gel Pad

Can anyone recommend a good gel pad for the passenger seat on an Ultra?

I've been looking at a Saddleman. looked at one at my local dealer the other day and really like it. It has fur on top. Don't really understand why they're so damn expensive though. Really nothing to them. The Saddleman is $109.

Not sure how it will fit on the passenger seat but-----
Contact Mean City Cycle http://www.meancitycycles.com/milebu...t_cushions.php
I had the chance to test ride one and it felt awesome. It will raise the seat height about an inch or so. Not sure if that will be an issue for your passenger.
I would guess the medium would work. Ask Allen at Mean city.

There was a vendor at Americade selling gel pads for $127. I think they were called Air Ride. I was thinking that was alot of money for a pad.

My wife recently tried the Saddlemen gel pad and the Airhawk pad and the airhawk won hands down. It has air in the baffles and you can adjust the pressure in seconds.
