Has anyone had their seat recovered with a gel pad or memory foam inserted?

If so could you recommend (or not) a place? I have heard that Viking Vinyl near Brands is good.

Also what did you think of the result regarding looks and added comfort.

Cheers

Did it myself on my last bike. Bought the gel pad at a bike show, took the seat cover off, hacked a space for the pad then put the cover back on.

this guy does excellent work. primariliy he is a leather taillor but im sure can cover in whatever fabric you need

rosso corse in london use him for custom seat coverings and he has done a wonderful job of repairing my leathers after a spill
