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.

Did you leave yours on the bike during winter storage?

I plan to put the stocker on for storage(I just got mine, and it is so much better than stock).
