Sheepskin seat cover
- Thread starter Ahamay
- Start date
I used to have one on my FJR from the same company (Easirider) but when I bought my GSA they didn't have a pattern for the low Sargent seat I'd bought for it. I went to their factory shop took the seat off and they made one up there and then, so they now have a pattern for this style of saddle.
They aren't cheap but are a custom fit with a draw cord around the base. It certainly makes the already comfortable Sargent seat that bit more comfy on long rides and rallies which is all I fit it for. You can see it in this picture taken during last year's Brit Butt Rally by a rock commemorating the location of some Trumpet factory

Yes, here you can see the options. I saw something similar there. https://leather-toolkits.com/types-of-leather/sheepskin-leather/ There is also an article on how to care for this type of skin and how to use it correctly. Sheepskin is second to none when compared to other types of leather.
A firm called Sheepy Hollow (https://www.sheepyhollow.com/) in Oz makes really good motorcycle sheepskin covers, I bought one many years ago for my K1100LT-SE, which was very comfy, keeping you a wee bit warmer in winter and reducing the heat in summer.
I stopped using it when I got my seat re-modeled by Seth Lamb in the US of A.
It didn't get particularly wet when riding but it did when parked, so I got a local sailmaker to fabricate an elasticated PVC cover which I still use; the manufacturers reckon if it does get wet, leave the bike under cover on the side stand and will drain and dry quickly.
A good piece of kit albeit not the cheapest, however, as the saying goes "any fool can be uncomfortable".

I have a Seth Lamb seat for my K1100LT which is great.

I use a Cool Cover, https://www.coolcovers.co.uk/ on my Triumph Trophy SE.
It's custom made to your bike, allows for air to circulate underneath - which works well during Florida's high humidity days. Doesn't allow for water puddling, so you never feel like you're sitting in water. I've been using it for a couple of years now and several thousand miles - it's worked well for me.
