CUSTOM GEL MOTORBIKE SEATS
All motorcycle riders will experience Harley Arse or Biker Butt after a long ride. Sure you can buy gel pads that sit on top of your seat, but they can easily slip off, be lost or even stolen. At Top End Upholsterers & Motor Trimmers we have the answer. We install gel directly to your seat, under the cover. Nobody will ever know it's there, except you. We can also re-shape the foam to suit your riding style. Whether you like to sit further forward, want more support for your lower back, or just can't touch the ground, we can customise your bike seat to give you a more comfortable ride. On top of that we can change the look with a wide range of vinyls including non-slip gripper vinyls, carbon fibre look and imitation crocodile.
Why use Gel?
THE BENEFITS OF GEL

- Retains original shape
- Contours to body shape
- 50% more shock absorbent than conventional foam rubber
The compound used is a thermo-plastic Gel which is effective in prevention of pressure sores, can be customised to suit you and is less than half the cost of comparable imported cushions. Made in Australia.

Please, before sending a request for how much to do a Gel Motorbike Seat, be aware, our gel is made in raw sheet form, we do not "have in stock" certain bike seats pre-made, we cannot send you a seat, alterations must be done on your existing seat. We are in Darwin, Northern Territory Australia, we do not have branch locations in other states. If you are located elsewhere in Australia, we recommend you find a Trimmer in your area willing to work on your seat, we are happy to send the Gel in its raw form.

The Process
The bike seat is re-shaped to suit the rider. This seat extra foam was added as back support for the rider.
A sheet of gel is placed over the seat. Gel is approximately 10mm thick. Excess gel is trimmed away. Some riders choose to gel the whole seat, while others may only install gel directly to their riding area.
A thin layer of foam is installed over the whole seat to give a smooth finished look. At this stage, if the seat has been altered, where possible we request that the rider try out the seat to ensure alterations are satisfactory
A custom vinyl cover is designed and installed.
