    Default Seat Cover for RT with driver backrest.

    Does anyone know where I can get a seat cover for my RT. I have the OEM backrest.
    I'm talking about a simple easy to install seat cover. Just something to keep the bird poop off the seat.
    I already have the half cover, that's great for trips.
    I'm looking for something smaller that I can easily throw on the seat while at work and just as easily remove it.
    Thanks in advance for your help.
    If it ain't broke, don't break it.

    Ultimate sells one for their seat, maybe that would work?

    I tried to purchase a rain cover for my RT Comfort Seat from Ultimate in early 2015 and was told, "No deal." I guess they come with an Ultimate seat when you fork over the large coin.

    I wound up purchasing an extra large Genuine Cool Ass,
    http://www.genuinecoolass.com/motorcycle-seat-cover.htm, cover. I spoke directly with the company owner and told him what I wanted, namely a rain cover. The cover does exactly as advertised for heat protection and, while it is advertised as water resistant, it is specifically not sold as a rain cover. Nevertheless, it has worked fine as a rain cover for me on two rides, one of which was an absolute frog strangler on the way home from Spyderfest 2016. The only drawback when using it as a rain cover during a ride is it prevents access to the glove box but that's a situation I can easily live with.
    Artillery lends dignity to what would
    otherwise be a vulgar brawl.

    I went down to Wal Mart and bought a cheap bath towel and put that over my seat. Keeps it cool and protected from sun and other stuff.

    That's what I do too. Except not from WM. They can kiss my A$% Plus, I can use it to dry off the windshield after it has been sitting out overnight while I work.

    The "Good Wool Store" here in Australia make a great "raincoat" cover for the RT seat which also fits over the seat Backrest and is Custom made to suit exactly that. I have one for my RT and it's great and easy to fit and protects my Wollen seat cover in the rain or when I wash the bike.

    The Midrider seat cover fits perfectly on a stock seat, same with the backrest cover

    These are also great when washing the Spyder!
