since someone mentions it: what about the Airhawk? is that a viable option? are you (those who had/have it) satisfied with it?
And which model goes on the C14's seat?
I'm sure it adresses the hardness of the seat, but what about the forward slope?
I'm not a fan of mine. Ended up taking it off early in my 6 day ride earlier this summer. I was all over the place adjusting the air up and down... even completely flat for a short period... with no apparent sweet spot. Getting a new low seat over the "less riding" months, then will give it another go. If I still don't like it, you'll find in in the classifieds. It did seam to "restore" the forward slope that the Spencer's mod removed.
But, back to the OP... I like the gel on my Ducati. Not bothered by the heat issue (which is all true)... It definitely increased my seat time (continuous duration) on that bike, without too much soreness once I was off. And even that didn't last long. If it was super hot out, I just flipped my tank bag onto the seat while I was off it. I'd entertain a gel on this bike, if the stars aligned.
