Just collected my 2011 America yesterday. I had the gel seat fitted, not for the extra comfort but more for the 25mm in seat height reduction as I only have 27" inseam so any drop in seat height was welcome. However, riding home - 49 miles, I didn't notice anymore comfort from when I'd tried out the demonstrator couple of weeks ago. Nor did my feet touch flat to the ground as I'd hoped.
I was curious about this, so I took the 'gel' seat off and tried the stock seat. As far as I can see there is vertually no difference. I checked the part number of both and found that they had the same number 2305807. The configurator gives the part number as 2305817. But as this number is part of the plastic seat frame that may not mean much.
I'm really dissapointed considering this seat cost another £215 (guess that's about $350 ? )
Will be talking to the dealer today and asking him if I really have the gel seat and if so, would he take it back.
