Just do yourself a favor and stay the hell away from the OEM gel seats. They're okay in the beginning but as they get older I've found they end up hard as a rock.

I've heard really good things about Spencer's seats

I'm seriously considering it (though I need to get a new OEM seat because I stupidly got rid of mine in favor of the OEM gel seat from Suzuki) since it's considerably cheaper than the Russell and (from what I've heard) the results are pretty similar.
