I am worried about being out all day at the rally and my wife getting uncomfortable. Not so much worried about me. She hasn't ridden more than 50 miles at one time with me and I don't want her to be uncomfortable so I am trying to make it like a Cadillac for her.
    Hi Jeff,
    this being the last minute what you need is an instant fix.
    I recently came by a sheepskin so I tried it as a seat cover.
    It may be old fashioned but it works.
    Drape it over the seat and hold it there with a bunjie.

      That would not be my opinion! Once gel heats up, it stays hot and does not breathe.

        The "King-Queen" seat will mike you strggle to keep your crotch away from the tank unless you add some foam at the front. That is from me an I ain't "unusual."

          Hey jjz28, you may want to give this site a look.

          I haven't used them yet but plan to in the near future.

          Supracore sounds like a winner

          1979 XS1100SF (stock-euro mods planned)
          1984 XV700L Virago (to be hot-modded)
          1983 XJ750MK Midnight Maxim (semi-restored DD)
          1977 XS650D ( patiently awaiting resto)

          Sometimes it takes a whole tank of gas before you can think straight.

                Hi Jeff,
                I have one of the ATV seat covers from WalMart $19.99 I do not think it is a Gel seat but it is very comfortable. Would cover up an ugly patched seat and in my case makes it waterproof if left out in the rain

                    Have one on the Corbin on my Venturer. They do well for making up for what may be lacking for the backside. They are NOT gel.

                      Gel is over rated.

                          Yes schming that looks cool! I'll look into that when I get back from the rally. I think I am just going to use a band aid for now.
