It offers a softer padding than foam and eliminates the friction and tugging between ride gear, jeans, and the leather or vinyl seat. I just don't sit still that long, so no need for it.

One of my riding partners uses a gel seat pad on his cruiser due to a bad back. Yet on his FJR 1300 he has no need for it. Bike ergo's and riding style can make a huge difference in comfort.

Try the simple low or no cost solutions before you go spending big bucks to discover it doesn't work either.
