LePera Gel Seat

[RoadWarrior]

I decided on a LePera Monterey w/backrest, but can't decide if I want get or not. Whats the general consensus? Will the seat feel harder than the foam seat on a short ride but then conform on the longer rides? We don't do that many long 2+ hour rides, but I'd like a seat that's comfortable all the way around. I'm afraid if I do gel, the seat will be uncomfortable on a short ride. If I'm not going to see much difference on a short ride, but the gel help on the long ride, I'd get the gel. The other option is to go with foam and use the gel pad that Harley sells on longer rides, if it's needed.

The question is more about foam vs gel. Not so much specific to the LePera seat.

What do y'all think?

No opinions on this so I thought I'd post my findings. I see more negative comments on gel than positive around the internet, so I decided to just do foam.

seems a lot of people say that the gel seats heat up more too so another strike against them. let us know how the seat turns out I just order a mustang deluxe seat and waiting for it to ship.
