Impact Gel - Ducati.ms

Crank1000 · Apr 18th, 2009, 3:09 am

I was watching that new show on Discovery Channel "Pitchmen", and saw a product called Impact Gel. It was originally designed for shoe insoles, but after watching a van roll over the guys hand inside a folded piece of the gel, and come out fine, I started thinking about using it as a mc seat pad. Looks like they beat me to the idea though since they have mc seat pads for sale on their website. So I'm wondering if any of you folks have tried this stuff, and if so, what your thoughts were. Here's a link to their site. Sorry for the obnoxious Billy Maze infomercial.

Billy's buddy "sham wow Vince" could have used some of that stuff on his tongue for his run in with this hooker!http://www.thesmokinggun.com/archive...7092sham1.html

Why would you use it instead of a regular gel seat? You planning on running over your seat?

I have the gel seat for my Hyper.
only one BIG problem...it retaine the heat from the sun.
Your but is cooking all the time

Yeah you definitely need to park it in the shade or cover the seat when parked in the sun.

Do you have this gel seat? Did you refinish your stock seat with it? Does it just sit over the top?

MongoWERA · Apr 19th, 2009, 11:18 am

The gel seat I have is the DP one, full replacement for the stocker.

Yeah, this is my only complaint. In Arizona, that is a real problem. I don't typically leave my bike sitting around, so it hasn't been to big of a problem, but when I do I try to find shade or cover the seat when I leave it set.

Out!

Never mind the seat
how about uses for the helmet and body pads?
Looks like something to investigate more.
