Default Question about gel in seat
I installed gel in 2009 ultra classic seat. It is not as comfortable as it was at first. Would the gel go bad or do I need to add more gel? Does anyone know of a good place to have gel added to seat?

Don't laugh but one of my friends is a plastic surg and he made a gel seat from some breast implants and OMG does that seat ever feel good...
He brought them to a leather shop and had them make a cover with straps for it...LOL
