If nothing else you'll get an education of what reasonable and possible with your stock seat, as well as what its goingto cost you.

 

This one you just sit on top of your seat.

This one you can have incerted into the seat. Both seem to be nice to supply more cush for the tush...

I haven't had one on my Hog, but I have had them on sportbikes. I would definately say +1 for that. You don't know how good they are until you ride another bike without one, and the difference is amazing.

The ones I had, however, had a different material on them, and they weren't waterproof. That sounds pretty stupid, but there you go. When touring, I'd carry a small kitchen garbage bag with me to put over the seat overnight.

My two cents.

yeah, i have considered getting a gel seat top cushion for my wife and possibly for me as well.

 

Capt Bob,

Try .... http://www.thepropad.com/default.aspx

Saved my butt several times.

 

I've got a Lepera Bare Bones w/gel, "Biker Gel" as Lepera calls it, and I LOVE it! A little extra $ but worth it imho.

 

Same here, my LaPerra was a bit pricey, but the gel sure beats the crap outta the stock Badlander seat!
On the other hand, my dad has a Mustang seat on his Honda, it's not 'gel' but sure feels good. I could sit on that thing all day long. Would have gotten on for my Night Train but wanted a low profile seat. Anyway that's off topic....sorry

 

Mean City did mine...
awesome...both stock seat and passenger pillion...awesome...

 

notafatboy,
What exactly did you have them do to your seat. I have been looking around to "maybe" get my Customs seat modified a little (narrow the front and push meforward a couple of inches) and am interested in howtheir work came out for you.
