My pad came on friday, so I went out for a 130 mile ride on Saturday. My butt still hurt, but it didn't start hurting as quicky. I was a bit disappointed. Not sure what I want to try next.
Akonababe, did you remove your seat cover to put the gel pad & foam inside?

yes, I removed the seat cover to put the pad and memory foam in worked good. Then when I reupholstered the seat, I added another inch of foam all around, even better.

I cut some foam from an old car seat and made it flatter and wider at the butt. Place Walmart cover over it. It is extra cushy and the extra width helps. I have to take an extended ride to see how well it does. This add a couple of inches in seat height. I can still flat foot at a stop. Allen

Hi,
I just posted this on the Yahoo board because my butt hurts after a good ride too. I was looking at a Yamaha XT225 forum and they talk about a gel insert that goes under the upholstery. See ebay item 170157487133. The company has a website with instructions and photos on how to assemble it and how to cut your insert into your seat. Not too expensive if you do it yourself. Instructions are here: http://www.knoplace.com/servlet/Page...adinstructions Thanks, frazer1
