I want to make a gel seat for my next bike, how easy is it fix it all back in place once you have removed cover?? What tools do you need?

Like Dizz says stapler, maybe a hair dryer too. Check out the vids

I was surprised what the gel seat consisted of when I took the original cover off - it was mostly foam with a gel insert cut into the middle of it, can't imagine that would be too hard to DIY providing you can find a suitable insert.

I recently bought a replacement seat cover from customcovers off eBay after reading this thread a few weeks ago. It arrived very quickly and was easy to fit thanks to the 2 YouTube videos he has. The only minor gripe was that I ordered the SV logo and got the Suzuki logo. I contacted him explaining the error, but that I was not seeking a replacement as they both look great and, well, my **** will be on it when I'm riding. He was most appologetic and thanked me for my understanding.

It must admit it has transformed my 99 curvy a treat. Others have mentioned that rear seat looks quite plain next to this, but I have a grippy seat on the back for my pillion sons and they look good together.
