Ok guys got my seats, front and rear, back today and man what a difference! No difference in looks at all, had no problem with the looks anyway and to be honest did not want any different look at all!, but the ride is amazing! There is no vibrations transmitted to my body at all. I also went to the website, off of
www.greatdaytoride.com for the manufacturer of the gel that is used in the seat and there are some videos explaining the specs on the gel and also some videos showing a back massager (vibrator) with a plastic bottle of water held tight against it and you can see the water in the plastic bottle jump all over the place...however you would not believe it but when the next video showed a very large block of standard motorcycle seat foam held tight to the back massager then the water bottle with half bottle of water in it held on top of that...the transmission of vibrations actually got worse noticably worse at that!! Then instead of the standard seat foam they used a piece of the gel in between the water bottle and back massager and NO vibrations were transmitted at all!! I could not believe it..and on the site it explains why in detail and how the gel works. Spencer the guy that actually does the seat mods also uses some memory foam in addition to this "gel" plus uses just the top portion of the original foam to have the original shape to the seat and let me tell you after riding today I could not believe the difference!
Now, I have no ties to this gentleman...do not know him other then what I have read and just from my own seats being completed and returned to me today so I do not want anyone to think that there is any alterial motives (sp??)...from what I read in the magazine article and then online on his own site plus some of the forum posts that are links on his site I took a chance and gave him the opportunity to help me out....I have a very very bad back having two disks in my lower back deteriorated at L4-L5 and L5-S1 and am due for total disk replacement ( once the jerks at the FDA and my insurance co approve it) might never happen but let me tell you....my love for riding is placed above my pain and Spencer has helped me to be able to enjoy riding again for longer distances in more comfort at a very cheap reasonable price (cost me $100 USD) and I strongly recommend you guys check him out.....Please tell him I sent you....no I get nothing from it...but I just want to show him my appreciation for how he has helped me!!
Let me know if you guys have any questions as I would be glad to help in anyway I can...after all you guys have really helped me out over the past year and took me in as one of your own and I appreciate it!
Ps. The big thing about these two mods that were done, the Comfort Mod and the LD (Long Distance) Mod make the seat comfortable and also you feel NO vibrations from the bike at all! Check it out...you will not be disappointed!
