Quote from: OR_Seedman on August 14, 2016, 13:07:51 PMI would like to pose a question regarding seat pads/cushions...I have a stock 2001 solo seat on my 800. It looks very comfortable and for the first 15 or 20 miles it feels okay..BUT...after that it really starts to make my butt ache...I usually do a round trip of about 80 miles or so going out to my research farm and it gets really uncomfortable about halfway there and back. My wife is not going to let me spend the money on a Corbin or other aftermarket seat, so I was wondering if anyone can recommend a seat pad/cushion that would help alleviate the issue. I am not a small guy (6 ft - 230lb), but I have an old man flat butt. My budget is $100 or less......anyone?
Thanks.

- August 17, 2016, 18:03:30 PMOR, I was in your same boat on my 2up seat. I searched around and found a set of gel pads from Saddleman that I scored for about $80 and I peeled back my seat cover and carved out some of the foam, then restapled the cover back in place. Solved the problem completely! One word though.....you need a high powered staple gun to sunk the staples into the plastic seat pan. You'll need a really good electric one or an air powered one to do it right. Here's what it looked like when I was installing the gel pads: http://s83.photobucket.com/user/pcarrell/library/Drifter/Drifter%20Seat?sort=3&page=1 I used silicone sealer to attach some thin foam over the gel pads so you wouldn't be able to feel the edges of the gel pads when it was done. Indian Fan has the seat now, and he can vouch for it's comfort I'm sure.
