• There were many reasons for the change of the site software, the biggest was security. The age of the old software also meant no server updates for certain programs. There are many benefits to the new software, one of the biggest is the mobile functionality. Ill fix up some stuff in the coming days, we'll also try to get some of the old addons back or the data imported back into the site like the garage. To create a thread or to reply with a post is basically the same as it was in the prior software. The default style of the site is light colored, but i temporarily added a darker colored style, to change you can find a link at the bottom of the site.

A happy ending

Challenge, too many freaking hot @## days in a row,

One yard of "jet set" (hey I didn't name it) knit, fold it over so its two layers thick (Its very thin stuff).
Run a few loose stitch lines across it, in say a web pattern, to keep it from shifting on itself.
Lay over seat and cut about an inch lower then your seat. Stretch a thin elastic band along the edge and fold knit over it, start sewing.
(Yeah, the whole trying to sew and stretch sucks, cuase I don't sew.) Be careful on seat horns, (the parts on the side that reach forward along the body) you need to elastic from a point about halfway from the center front edge of the seat all the way around the horn. You do not need to put any elastic along the inner curve at the center front.

This makes for a slim seat cover that wont interfere with anything, but stays in place well. The "jet set" knit has a nice tooth, so I don't bother taking it off the seat when I ride. No more HHhhoooooottttt butt.
