I ditto the comments about TA. I had my FZ-1 plank , sorry seat , refoamed by him in 06 and loved it. He is not to be rushed, has to be rung a few times to get results, but a fine job all the same. He has no shortage of work, so for the price he charges, I think its well worth the wait.
I also have an airhawk seat which really complements the seats I have on my bikes. I had my gen1 seat foam cut a bit as I have short inseam,its a diggerseats jobbie which is still comfy for most rides, the airhawk makes it alday comfy. Similarly on my GS, as its the low seat version, its not as comfy as a stock seat , so once again the airhawk helps out on tours .I get on the bike first , then put the cushion underneath me, so I get the benefit of the lowered seat.
I dont like gel at all, I find it very uncomfy. Always have gone for a foam seat anyday. The issue with the FZ-1 seat seems to be yamaha never thought people would be riding it for any time. I mean decent foam is pennies....why not fit it in first place !!
