Suzuki has discontinued the gel seat (at least in the USA), so the only way to get one is from someone that has one they want to sell.

I had a Suzuki gel seat and thought it wasn't as comfortable as the stock seat.  I sold it to a fellow in Indiana who apparently likes it.  Maybe he'll chime in here with his views.

I now have a Corbin and while I've only ridden about 100 miles on a warm day recently it seems a lot better than the stock seat.  Bear in mind that I weigh 340 and am 5'11" tall.  

I had Corbin make my Gunfighter & Lady with heavy duty vinyl seating panels vs. the leather they usually use - mostly to avoid the care a leather seat requires.  

I'll be able to tell more as soon as I can take a longer ride, like a 500-600 mile day, but that won't be for a couple of months here in MN.

Keep an eye on eBay.  I've seen them on there in the past.  

Good Luck.
