FreezyRider Posted June 2, 2010 Share #2 Posted June 2, 2010 I have them. Not overly thrilled with them. They do help in the super high temps as air can flow and keep you cooler. I can only sit on them for about an hour though and then have to change. Got mine from http://www.cyclemaxohio.com Look at the misc section. Good price. Some people buy from Walmart and then cut them down to fit. I like them precut. Having said all that, Walmart sells a gel seat pad from a company called Ultimate Relaxation (sometimes marked Ultimate Comfort). It has a "waffle" shaped gel inside a fabric cover. They only cost $20 and are the absolute best pad I have ever experienced. My butt sighs a happy sigh whenever I sit on it. Joe Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fisheyes Posted June 2, 2010 Share #3 Posted June 2, 2010 I used to use them on my sportbikes, they actually added comfort to thoes and the biggest benefit was getting airflow under your butt. Havent tried them on my Venture though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BigBear Posted June 2, 2010 Share #8 Posted June 2, 2010 I've got them and like them! Keeps the air moving! Look around on the web...there is an article on how to make a set (2) from a WalMart brand beaded car seat cover. Think I spent around $8.00 for mine!

V7Goose Posted June 3, 2010 Share #10 Posted June 3, 2010 I made mine from a Wal-mart taxi-driver special. Cost me something like $7. I absolutely love them and do not ride without them, summer or winter. Not only do they add about 1/2" to saddle height (important to me on a bike with saddle height made for midgets), but they also turned the stock saddle from a 600 mile comfort range to 1,500 mile-a-day range with only gas stops for breaks. I let my brother try them, and he hated 'em - but he never was very smart. Goose Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
