i also had a gel pad installed on my BA, then added an alaska sheepskin, it did help. just received back a russell "day-long" for the FJR, will test this week-end. not much difference in price of "built- for your body" custom, than many after-market seats [and it's high quality leather too,,,looks great]

some people are like slinkies, they serve no purpose, but, they bring a smile to your face when you push them down the stairs.
