I noticed on the site they have a "custom" for the spyder. $164 with shipping. But they do not show a picture of it?
What did you get? Custom or standard?

I bought the custom cover. It covers the entire seat (rider & passenger) including the sides of the seat. Really a nice fit. I am not sure what the price is now, but I paid $259 included shipping.

Could I trouble you for a picture of it? I really don't like to buy something I cannot see what it looks like.
Thanks,

I was looking at my '14 RT rear tire and they have "tattletales" in the grooves of the tread (white marks). It gives you a chance to watch the wear pattern. (more wear on the outer, increase pressure, wear on the inner, reduce pressure. Mine is wearing more on the inner, so lower pressure, here I come. Most of you guys probably already know that, but might be a newbie like me that didn't.

I like the look of that seat cover, but I paid a lot less. I'll have to wait till I have all my other farkles done before I start replacing old farkles.
