If you don't the seat doesn't want to close, because the seat sets right on the frame. A tight strap will prevent it from closing. I used a wire tie and connected the straps loosely. Works good.

    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.

    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.

    Default Cover


    I have a backrest. Guess I could just put a hole in it and stitch around it.

    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.
