I'm taking my F3T to NC this weekend, on my open utility trailer. I have a new Ultimate seat, which I don't want to get wet, if I run into a rain storm or two along the way. Since the seat is very easy to remove, I was thinking of popping it off and putting it in the back seat of my truck. Would I be risking any problems with the bike getting rained on with no seat installed? I'm thinking it would be fine, but what do I know? You all always have good advice. Besides, you know if I prepare for rain, it won't! :ani29:

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.
Need some quick advice!

I do have the rain cover. I was just concerned that it would get blown off. I haven't tried to put it on yet, but the one I had for my Gold Wing wasn't that great. I was thinking of duct taping a plastic sheet over the open section with the exposed electrics. The Ultimate seat on my Gold Wing got drenched on one of my trips, and it was never quite the same, afterwards.

Wrap the seat in some of that plastic wrap used in packaging stuff for shipping and then put it back on. You can always cut a piece of cardboard to bungie down on top of the seat if you are concerned about the plastic blowing off, but you see pallets of goods on the back of the 18 wheelers going down the Interstate highways at 80 MPH wrapped in that plastic and it stays on.

Trailered my F3Ltd to Ormond area 3 weeks ago to have my Ultimate seat installed & wired, they did a great job for me. Towed it home to Atlanta area and it rained on exposed seat. got the bike unloaded and just wiped it all down. I do believe the ride on rain cover for the seat would have blown off while trailering, it's a cross between a shower cap and FroggToggs. The ride on cover is meant for when the bike is parked in direct sun for UV protection or when I am riding in rain to keep all that water that pours off me out of the foam. Great seat, very comfortable, they ran heat up the backrest for my lovely wife and she is also pleased. I tell her the small pouch on the driver backrest is the most expensive purse she owns.
