I have a gel on mine, I liked it so much I put one on the wife's bike. She doesn't like it, says it got a hard rim where it meets the tank and is uncomfortable. Had me put the stocker back on, and said she liked that much better. I personally think it just isn't broken in yet, since I just got it. We have only been able to get out and ride 3 times since I put it on. I'm thinking come spring/summer and the warmer temps she might like it more. I would put mine on her bike, but I have a K3 1000, and she has a K7 650, so they don't fit the same.
