Gel Seat Pad User Review

I'm looking into a company that does gel re-upholstery will post reports when I find one!!

 

I think gel is overrated...

I had a gel pad (like the OP) I bought for my GS. It was crap. I then had a gel pad built into the seat by a local firm. That was also crap. I eventually bought a Sargent seat which was brilliant.

I had the gel seat on my Tiger. It was crap. I had the gel seat on my America it was crap.

The seat on my year old Thunderbird is excellent though and far as I know it's just different foam densities and ergonomic shape and that's the problem as I see it. The shape is all important but to make a comfortable seat it needs to be a shape that will probably not enhance the look!

The top seat manufacturers like Corbin and Sargent don't use gel for a reason.

The Sargent seat didn't use gel.

If you can't afford a Corbin (or the like) I'd recommend an Airhawk or similar. I used one on my America and although it wasn't perfect it did a pretty reasonable job of keeping the bum-ache at bay for quite a while.

 

paracetamol.lol take enough and you dont feel the pain

just had my seat done by a pro........ no, not one of them, tho tbh they may have done a better job .
think it was better with my great wedge of foam rubber atop of the original seat.
