Seat pads?

has anyone had any luck with a seat pad (something like this: Pro Pad Gel Seat Pad :: New Enough Motorcycle Hard Parts). I got hit with a bad case of cabin fever last night and decided it was time for a vacation. So I'm taking the bike on it's first long trip. I was planning on getting a new seat in the future, but this being a spur of the moment thing, I don't have enough time to order one before I go. I was thinking maybe I could pick up a seat pad as a temporary solution, but they just don't really look like much. Has anyone tried one before? Any other possible suggestions for making my trip more comfortable?

You might also look at Air Hawk seat pad.

From the sport touring sites, I have read that the spandex bicycle shorts with the gel inserts are cheaper and better. I dont know that it is true, because I have not tested either one.

Good call on the bicycle shorts. I stopped on the way home yesterday and picked a pair up. Took them for a trial last night (100+ miles without my feet coming off the pegs) and it really helped. The padding doesn't cover all of my behind (let the big *** jokes begin), but it did cover enough to make a big difference. It's still not as good as a corbin seat would have been but I imagine it'll help me out a lot. The only down side was that my "boys" were awfully snug, I may need to devise a method for giving them some more breathing room.

You know it makes sense.
Or you could just cut a hole in the shorts and let your back wheels out. No photo's required of this mod though lol.
Enjoy your trip.
