CONFORMAX Topper EXCEL Ultra-Flex Motorcycle Gel Seat Cushion (Medium AIRMAX 13x13x12)

very nice !!!! i definitely didn't want to spend $300 for a gel seat with mixed reviews, but at $68 with good reviews, this is a bargain !! when i saw the pic of the GEL seat on a sportbike, i knew it would be just right for my CBR1000RR... i go out on 4 to 5 hour rides stopping only for gas, and without it i was sometimes a bit sore... this not only feels great, it looks great too... it's not too squishy, it's just perfect..absorbs the bumps and vibration and makes your butt and nuts much more comfortable !!! seriously... i didn't expect the second benefit..lol also, it doesn't make you feel like your sitting any higher then normal... i like the way my bike feels and wouldn't want to be any higher, so having the riding position unchanged was a big plus... UPDATE: 2 months in and still lovin' it.. just wanted to add that I removed (they slide right off) the included hooks from the straps because they kept popping off where I had them attached.. tied a double knot instead and couldn't be happier.

Like all pads I've tried, the Conformax Topper Excel doesn't solve the butt pain problem, just reduces it. The next time I tour I'm going to take the further measure (going by another rider's experienced advice) and hike 2-3 miles every day to re-boot my booty. I've also heard riding lots of curvy roads reduces butt pain, because more moving around on the seat, more blood flow through the posterior - vs riding long distances on interstates does the opposite.UPDATE- June 2022. The Conformax is hanging in there nicely. The other seatpad (underneath the Conformax in the pic) is long gone.UPDATE 2- August 2023. The Conformax is still here (and so is my ass).

Feels good and does it's job cushioning your tush. Gets very hot when in the sun.

I got this to help with a 2 week trip to the Grand Canyon. I found that after about 60 miles, the pad hardened. I went back to my sheepskin, and never went back. Not worth it for me. Returned.

It solved the sliding forward effect of the OEM seat on my 2015 FZ-09 and it also provided gel padding for greater long-term riding comfort that many complained about. The only problem that is universal with most aftermarket seat pads is security. One could easily cut the nylon straps and off they go with the seat pad. I do not know the answer except to glue the pad to the OEM seat, but right now I do not want to do that unless I test it thoroughly and decide that is the best economical and permanent solution. Of course, having the seat modified by a professional would be the best solution, but it will also be the most expensive, whereas the seat pad is under $80.....unless someone steals it; that would then start escalating the cost above a complete seat makeover. Fingers crossed for now.

I was hoping to get back on my sportbike give it another chance for long rides getting older, but after only 90 minutes it turned excruciating with this gel pad and had to take this off. I usually go about 5 to 6 hours before feeling any pain on the stock seat, but with this gel seat it only took an hour and a half in. After taking it off I rode for an additional 3 and half hours so it wasn't just me. I bought it specifically due to 5 star reviews, maybe its just my buttox I don't know.

This pad is around 4 inches shorter than the length of my seat. I have a 2004 Harley davidson fxstdi and it fits just fine. I didn't use any of the hardware that came with the strips, just looped the strap under the frame and the doubled up leftovers through the d-rings. All snug and secure ,doesn't look terrible, but less comfortable than the stock seat after a 2 hour ride. Maybe it will be better after a few more hours. Update: 2 weeks later I'm still getting used to it, but not liking the 1"lift it gives me. Now I need a taller windshield. It never ends .....

Had to replace straps with elastic style strapping to get pad to lock in place on my seat. Web straps kept loosening. Once I did this, pad stays in pace and rides great.
