I saw in an older post a sun shade that would cover the seat of the :spyder2:. I like that it would keep the seat cooler in hot sun, a little dryer in a light rain, and the average dingbat from trying to sit on it without asking.
I tracked the one I saw back to Spydersisters.com, but I see that the selection of colors is very limited and a lot are out of stock.
Are there any other products like their sunshade available that anyone has used or seen? Are there other things that will work? I see that some people use a net to keep people off, but that does nothing for the hot seat when you get back on.

Planning for the Utah trip :yes:and I know the black seat is going to get hot when parked for hiking.

I found a universal ATV seat cover at Bass pro wrks for mehttp://www.spyderlovers.com/forums/attachment.php?attachmentid=122499&stc=1http://www.spyderlovers.com/forums/attachment.php?attachmentid=122500&stc=1 keeps cool & or dry. Namely got it to keep stray cat from picking seat.
fyi velcro straps go underneath & hold secure, out of way of anything under seat

If you can get past the limited availability; the SpyderSisters' sunshade does a really nice job. :thumbup:

:agree: I have one, carry it with me and use it all the time. It really does keep the seat cooler. Also keeps the morons off of my Spyder. http://www.spyderlovers.com/forums/attachment.php?attachmentid=122529&stc=1

I've had a couple so far, 1st one I made from the largest white bath towel Walmart offered, attached Velcro strips on the corners in appropriate places and attached around mirrors and grab handles-works fine but pretty bulky to store in an F3 saddle bag or frunk plus if it gets sprinkled on weighs a ton! 2nd one I did same concept however purchased an plain orange 3' X 5' Polyester flag (matches my frame) from Amazon and attached Velcro to that in the same manner. http://www.amazon.com/Orange-Flag-Premium-Quality-Polyester/dp/B00I63MKTW/ref=sr_1_3?s=lawn-garden&ie=UTF8&qid=1452613105&sr=1-3&keywords=Orange+3x5+Polyester+Flag

Now my all time favorite (but too cheap to buy it) ; http://www.cafepress.com/+beach_towel,1371818869

They have numerous really cool spider printed beach towels, but you also get back to the bulky thing.

Hoping to have someone airbrush a spider on my flag in the future that looks like the beach towel.

Anyway, hope this helps...

An oldie but a goodie. Bob and I do like to mix things up a bit. We should call it "Avatar Roulette"!

We found a large Air Force towel, put grommets in the four corners, attached small bungee cords. Works great.
