I got one for free from a friend. He works for the shop that sold me my SV and it was a damaged seat, had a little hole in the cover. Well, I installed it and rode it for over a year with that seat. That hole has turned into a tear and I removed it and put the stock seat back on thinking I'd get it reupholstered. Well, you know what? I like the friggin' stock seat better! I never was impressed with that gel seat, seemed awful hard on the bum to be an "improvement". Well, the stock seat sits higher and is softer! Go figure. I know that seat set in the bum burn after 400 miles or so, but the extra height sits me up away from the pegs, better on my legs. I also have a gel pad to put on it on long straight rides that sits me even higher.
So, I've gone back to the stock seat. I may cover that gel seat and ebay it, don't know. But, I don't think it's going back on the SV.
