Hey Wre4U,
I have the same bike and color which I love. I have been thinking of doing something with the seat also. Who did the work? It does look good. It also looks a little more cushiony than the original. I think our convertible color is closer to a burgundy than red. Trying to find a matching red color is not easy. Your new cover looks a little more sporty than the original. I do like the look of the original seat cover. Mine has a little of a worn look to it after just surpassing 50K miles all of which were ridden with my butt in that seat. There is a history between me and that seat cover. I think I would have the gel inserted into the original seat cover. Hope it gives you many miles of comfortable riding. Enjoy and Stay Safe.
