I've been using a BeadRider 13" ceramic seat cover for about 4k miles now and thought I'd share my thoughts. I am using the cover on the stock seat in the low position with the seat bumper mod.
I really like this cover and find that it really does distribute my weight over a larger surface area. Even after back to back 800 mile days, there were no noticable pressure points and no soreness that goes along with it. A great feature of the cover is that it allows air to flow between the seat surface and your bottom. I rode in mid 90 degree and humid weather in Florida and had no swamp-ass what-so-ever. Another great and unexpected result was that after riding through a driving thunderstorm from Birmingham to Asheville, I wasn't sitting in a puddle the whole time.
If I had to find one complaint, it would be that it is somewhat slippery. Not so bad that I felt unsafe, but it did take a few rides to adjust to it in heavy breaking situations. Now I barely notice it.
The price was very reasonable and was quickly shipped to me upon ordering. The BeadRider seat cover gets 2 thumbs up from me. For anyone that does any long distance riding, or riding in hot and humid conditions, I would highly recommend it.
