Full sheepskin seat cover

[jaherbst]

Wanted to let everyone know how pleased I am with my new full sheepskin seat cover. One piece rider passenger and sides. I have always ridden with one of these for as long as I can remember. Even when I rode to Sturgis on my BSA 441 in 1967. Keeps you cool in summer and warm in winter! No moisture or chapping.

Unable to find anyone who made the full cover for the spyder only the seat pads. I called Louie at The Sheepskin Factory and he said he only made the seat pads but would go to a Spyder dealer, measure and make me a full cover. That was Thurs. late pm. I was reluctant to order something sight unseen and not even developed yet. I called early Friday morning and asked him how soon I could get it as I wanted to use it for the O/E in Durango. He said I will have it to you by Sat. afternoon at 3pm. It arrived two hours early and it is perfect. Very high quality sheepskin and workmanship. Contoured exactly to the seats.

If you have not ridden on a FULL sheepskin cover you do not know what your missing on a long ride.

If you are thinking in this direction give Louie a call. Really nice people eager to please.

Cost was $250 plus $28 for overnight express shipping USPS

I will be in Durango and if you ask first you can try it out. If I knew how to post a picture I would.

Do not know how to post pictures on this site?? Is there instructions somewhere? I can not find them. mac pc

That's the same place I got mine in 2012.

I just got one myself (not from the same place) and I really like it. It really helps with airflow and definitely keeps you drier.

Looks really good:2thumbs:

I got mine from Gene at Misty Mountain last year at Spyder Palooza and he is located near Branson Mo. They are usually at most motorcycle events in this area. Don got one for his Goldwing yesterday in Cuba from him. Don't forget your dog brush...

Mine covers the sides of the seats and the two extrusions on the forward part of the seat also.

:agree: They're real nice folks! :2thumbs:

The ONLY thing that I saw about their covers that I'd change: I'd cut the elastic straps, and use velcro to attach them together... The seat strut gets in the way of quick removal... :shocked: (Should rain appear!)

The elastic strap has a quick disconnect in the middle! Comes of faster than loosing your grip on a greased pig in a swimming pool. Very slick and well made.

I think those might be made by someone else as they are hanging on a rack where ever he goes. Didn't look at the singles very long :dontknow:. Sheep don't melt in the rain anyway only wicked witches... so it should not hurt to get them wet. I'd bet he would mod the pad for you to add the quick release if you ran into him... or it is a good excuse to go to Branson.

Sheepskin Cover

That looks great!

Question -- How does it feel riding long distances in 90+ degree weather? Does it not get hot?

It's not as hot as vinyl to sit on...

:agree: You also don't end-up "sticking" to it... :thumbup:

Just the opposite. It keeps you cool because even as you sit on it the air circulates under your bottom. No chapping and no wet bottom. If you get the FULL cover you will hardly notice any heat rising up. REALLY!

In the winter it works the opposite and keeps you warm. Have used the full covers for forty of my sixty two years of riding. And believe me I have tested them in every kind of weather. If it gets wet it dries very quickly and is washable if it is genuine sheepskin.

A lot of after market "sheepskin" pads are not real sheepskin but a "fake" polyester. Check em out.
