• 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.

Seat Cover for RT with driver backrest.

Does anyone know where I can get a seat cover for my RT. I have the OEM backrest.
I'm talking about a simple easy to install seat cover. Just something to keep the bird poop off the seat.
I already have the half cover, that's great for trips.
I'm looking for something smaller that I can easily throw on the seat while at work and just as easily remove it.
Thanks in advance for your help.
 
I tried to purchase a rain cover for my RT Comfort Seat from Ultimate in early 2015 and was told, "No deal." I guess they come with an Ultimate seat when you fork over the large coin.

I wound up purchasing an extra large Genuine Cool Ass,

The cover does exactly as advertised for heat protection and, while it is advertised as water resistant, it is specifically not sold as a rain cover. Nevertheless, it has worked fine as a rain cover for me on two rides, one of which was an absolute frog strangler on the way home from Spyderfest 2016. The only drawback when using it as a rain cover during a ride is it prevents access to the glove box but that's a situation I can easily live with.
 
I went down to Wal Mart and bought a cheap bath towel and put that over my seat. Keeps it cool and protected from sun and other stuff.
 
Almost free

simple garbage can liner with a tie string top, almost free and they fit just right . You can tighten them with the tie.Tthey work great, AND poop & waterproof
if you don't like it thrown away

That's what I do too. Except not from WM. They can kiss my A$% Plus, I can use it to dry off the windshield after it has been sitting out overnight while I work.
 
The "Good Wool Store" here in Australia make a great "raincoat" cover for the RT seat which also fits over the seat Backrest and is Custom made to suit exactly that. I have one for my RT and it's great and easy to fit and protects my Wollen seat cover in the rain or when I wash the bike.
 
Ultimate sells one for their seat, maybe that would work?

The Midrider seat cover fits perfectly on a stock seat, same with the backrest cover

These are also great when washing the Spyder!
