C50 Gel Seat - Motorcycle-Journal Forums

robertc729 · 06-09-2007, 05:58 PM

I just bought and installed the OEM Suzuki Gel Seat for my C50, didn't feel like shelling out $500+ for another kind. 100 miles later there is a noticeable improvement in comfort. The seat was lowered a little, but I consider it to be a fair trade. Overall I like so far and the price isn't too bad either.

Here are some pics I just took of the new seat.

Looks good.

I only paid $395 US for the Mustang Vintage Studded landed here in Canuck Land!

Does the passenger seat have gel also or is it only in the driver's seat? My wife has asked for a replacement seat and I looked at the OEM one but someone told me it didn't have gel in the passenger seat...

Only the front seat has gel in it, since my wife got her own bike, I don't have to worry too much about that anymore.

So how many miles do you have on the seat now? Is there really a big difference?

robertc729 · 06-11-2007, 04:25 PM

About 200 miles so far, and it is a big improvement. I like the new sitting position as well.

Looks Great!!

I have the same seat. Very comforatble in warm weather. In the cold it tends to get a little stifff. I switch back the factory seat in the winter
