Hi Dave , I haven't got a gel seat on my wee but i was fortunate enough to get a great deal on a Corbin 2 piece seat from my local Suzuki dealer, the Corbin seat does seat you slightly further back and supports your lower back although the seat is wider at the front so if a rider has shorter legs they might find that keeping both feet flat on the ground a bit awkward ,the seat is comfortable ,i was quoted approx: $800 for a new seat and an 8 week wait so when i saw this one which happened to be only 3 months old on a wee that had been traded in i took the wee for a run then asked if the sales guy if he would be interested in doing a deal on the seat , he said just ask the dealership owner ,he had dramas with it and they even fitted the seat for me as the seat locking mechanism needs to be relocated further back . cheers mate Paul.
