well i wanted a new seat for 2 reasons. 1, my seat had orange paint all over it and 2 it wasn’t comfortable for shit. 40+ miles in it and my ass was sore. this was not acceptable.

sure i could go with buying a corbin or sargent. i could even pay a professional to do it but what would be the fun in that? so i set out to recover both seats and put a gel insert in the drivers seat.

i got the gel, memory foam and smoothing fabric from Kno Place Upholstery Co on ebay. here are the directions i used.

i went and bought a $10 electric knife from wal mart and some $2 spray adhesive. i started taking the stock covers off and didnt look back. here are some pics.

i havent gone on a long distance ride but i can already tell that it is a major improvement. i will be traveling to PA shortly so i will definitely know then if it helped.
