The Easiest Way to Improve Motorcycle Seat Comfort: Luimoto's Gold Gel R

Summary:

• Gold Gel R is an easy and less invasive alternative to Luimoto’s standard Gold Gel inserts for motorcycle seats. Unlike the original Gold Gel which requires cutting into the seat foam, Gold Gel R is designed to sit on top of the seat foam, offering a simpler installation process.
• Gold Gel R is lightweight and comfortable, designed to fit all body sizes and types with an ergonomic design. It's universally shaped to fit any motorcycle seat and doesn't require cutting into OEM seat foam. It's also compatible with all Luimoto seat covers.
• Ideal for medium-range rides and shallow-pan seats with minimal foam, Gold Gel R can also be stacked on top of the original Gold Gel for added comfort on long rides. This makes it a versatile option for various riding conditions.
• Installing Gold Gel R is straightforward. Just remove the seat cover, peel off the plastic liner from your Gold Gel R, apply it to the seat foam, and then reinstall the seat cover. No special tools are needed beyond those for removing and reattaching the seat cover.
• Gold Gel R will be available in Spring 2024, and is compatible with all of our durable, marine-grade vinyl seat covers.

The more comfortable your motorcycle is to sit on, the longer you can ride it. But making a bike more comfortable can seem expensive or time-consuming (or both).

Buying a brand new custom seat to replace your old one is pricey, and many seat inserts require you to cut into your OEM seat foam. That’s why Luimoto is launching an alternative to our standard Gold Gel inserts that sit on top of the seat foam instead of needing to be installed.

Meet Gold Gel R—the easiest way to improve your motorcycle’s seat comfort.

How Gold Gel R Is Different from Our Standard Gold Gel

Gold Gel R is designed to be lighter and easier to install than our original version, which requires you to cut into your motorcycle’s seat foam to integrate the product.

Our original Gold Gel still offers the best possible support and long-range comfort of any product we sell, so Gold Gel R isn’t intended to be a replacement. It’s an alternative for people who want a simpler solution—and a potential supplement for our Gold Gel, since you can stack them together for even more comfort on long rides.

Installing Gold Gel R in Your Motorcycle Seat Cover

Putting Gold Gel R in your motorcycle seat is a quick and simple process. Here’s all you need to do:

Step 1: Remove Your Seat Cover

Use a staple remover or a flathead screwdriver to pry out the staples holding the old seat cover in place.

Step 2: Remove the Plastic Liner

Your Gold Gel R has a plastic liner protecting the adhesive it uses to stay in position on your motorcycle’s seat foam. Peel this sheet off before the installation.

Step 3: Apply Gold Gel R to Your Bike’s Seat Foam

Simply stick the Gold Gel R to your bike’s OEM seat foam. Make sure to place it in the center of the seat.

Step 4: Customize If Necessary

Using a sharp pair of scissors, you can adjust the shape of your Gold Gel R. This should not be necessary for the vast majority of motorcycles, but may help you feel more comfortable depending on your body type and riding preferences.

Step 5: Reinstall Your Seat Cover

That’s it—you’re done. Simply put your OEM or Luimoto seat cover back on and you’re good to go. Note that Luimoto seat covers are made from marine-grade vinyl that will help protect your Gold Gel R from the elements and maintain its condition more effectively than most OEM covers. Go an extra step further and waterproof your saddle as effectively as possible with one of our weather protectors.
