Seat Rain Cover

[Rando]

The retained water feeds back and soaks your backside for some time after the rain has stopped, often for days.

Or get a Kontour seat. Problem solved!

"Even during rainy days you are suspended above liquid water and remain dry and cool."

I was just wondering how I would go about making something like this. I just got a heated Corbin seat and have heard about how water could soak into it. I dont have a cover for the bike yet and it stays outside.

You can probably buy a rain cover to fit from Corbin.

Great idea Scotty! Thanks for sharing that with us.

Simple, compact and too cool

Great job Scotty. Thanks for sharing.

I picked up a "Cool-Ass" cover. (get the XL for a custom seat, stock works with a L) Works great, dry and cool... plus you get a "Cool-Ass" coozie to keep your frosty beverage cool, too. A number of Spyderlovers have them, and there are some pics on the site. I rate it two

I have checked into getting the CoolAss seat cover, but found out it is a cover for when the bike is parked. It was recommended that I not ride the bike using the cover in place due to it being slippery. I am looking for a waterproof seat cover that works when I'm riding the bike.

Last Corbin rain cover estimate was almost $200 and 90 days to order from the Ormond outlet.

55 gallon trash bags work just as good raise the seat and slide it on throw away when done

Bring 2 bags -One for the seat and cut arm and head holes in the other and wear it as a 3/4 length rain suit!!

Don't laugh I have done that during my time in the Army it works good as a poncho or a poor soldiers rain jacket. Lessens the soaking wet chills when it turns cool. Why is it when your soaked and the water runs out of your boots ... You get a move out order or the breeze kicks in and you freeze due to evaporation?

Kontour does not have a very good reputation in these parts. Hope your transaction went well.

Always carry a small half cover for times like this. One minute on, one minute off. Packs about 4 inches X 7 inches. The ones off of any cruiser M/C will fit. About $25-$35.

Using the trash bags requires that you carry them with you. Naturally! My spouse hit on a good idea. She folded the two bags we decided on carrying. She found two heat escape openings under the seat and placed a bag over each one. It helped knock a few degrees
off the seat bottom. Every degree helps in the FL summer time.

Any suggestions on where to get the water proof material?

I bought a Cool Ass cover for my RT-S specifically as a rain cover for my trip to Spyderfest. No sense of slipping around for me. Brian's photography is better than mine.

I Can NOT believe that after all these years of pouring over the tips and tidbits and info on Spyderlovers, that I have never seen anyone comment about wet seats. Just by chance I happened to find these posts and FINALLY I am getting a seat cover to protect my seat from getting sopping wet when it rains. I swear, when I get caught in the rain and get off for a moment and get back on, it feels like I sat down in a child's wading pool!!! I've never understood why my stock seat on my ST-L was not water proofed! I've tried different water proofing products and nothing has worked. Finally started using large black garbage bags and bungie cords to keep them secure to keep my seat dry. I jokingly told my son I needed to make a large "shower cap" for my seat. Thank you for these posts! I've just order the seat cover from the CoolAss folks!!! YAY!!!!

Actually the seat material is waterproof.... It's the SEAMS that leak badly, allowing the foam to saturate with water and then get pushed out from compressing the foam.... I have found when wearing good Rain Gear, the water will pool in the crotch area and over-flow into the seams …. Mike
