I tried them bought mine from Honda like 12 bucks they do change the feel but then so does taking a break on long rides. I see if I can locate them and send them to you if you want.
I got mine last year wasnt sure if they would work or not but for the price I had to try them. Had them for about a week and the bike went in the shop for two months. When I got the bile back I had forgot that they were on it but then when I drove it for the first time I went for hours without getting the numb ass like I used to for the price they work great and during hot weather it lets some air under your cheeks and it makes for cooler riding bad part is it does them same during the winter.But over all I am very satisfied with them
I like them alot. You won't get "monkey butt" using them. I use the beads all summer and winter. They are comfortable, you just have to get initially used to them.
A riding buddy of mine has and loves them.... I went with sheepskin for the added padding but both basically work by keeping your but from sticking to your seat and getting hot, sweaty, and chaffed
