On the Hot Seat

[Oldschool]

What's the story with the Yamaha Gel seat for the FZ1?

Is anyone using it?

Is it any good?

Check this thread for much more on the subject.

BTW I have, and like my Yamaha GEL seat.

Thanks all for your input. A lot of different experiences. Not sure I am any closer to a solution, but you probably save me several hundred $ to find out that it still doesn't work. I have turned down great opportunities to take longer rides of several hours because I know it would be torture towards the end. Sad they can't find a good workable solution to "butt fatigue" and the circulation cutoff in the groin and legs. I am 6'4", 213 lbs, in pretty good shape, at least for a 63 year old, and I have fought this issue for over 35 years on various bikes. Thanks all for the input. If you have any further ideas, I am willing to listen. Enjoy being able to communicate with people who ride the Fazer. We are a different lot as all my cruiser buddies will tell you.
