Getting a gel pack fitted to the seat.

[stan the man]

I have just been in touch with C M as to the price of fitting a Gel pack under the seat lining and was suprised at the price £145 plus £50 for the gel pack itself. If anyone could advise me where I could get this done cheaper or a suitable modification which wont break the bank I would be most greatful.

Stan,

I bought one from here http://www.danmedicasouth.co.uk/gelstore.htm some time back for around £30. They sell it with/without cover (I got without) and had a local trimmer (Ipswich) fit it for £20.
When he fitted mine, he took both the seat cover and foam off and cut a recess in the bottom of the foam so that the gel pad went onto the hard base. It kept the line of the seat better and it certainly made a huge difference to mine (I had lowered seat which was haaaarrrrddddd).

that sounds quite pricey to me

You cant knock the quality and they do look the part, well made and all that but times are hard.

I used this guy http://www.smartrrrs.biz/ to fit gel pads to my Bandit seat. It was £40 for rider & £40 for passenger, which included the gel and the cutting/fitting to the seat. He did an excellent job - I went there on a Saturday morning (by appointment) and he did it while I waited

Thanks for the info, I've been in touch with them but the chaps had to go in for surgery so is not open till Jan but they look a far cheaper option.

Thanks again.
