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.

My wife uses an Alaskan Leather sheepskin cover on her passenger seat. I actually ordered the cover for her when we had our Valkyrie Interstate. The passenger sheepskin for the Valkyrie fits the passenger seat on my 15 RT perfectly. She is very happy with the cover and can ride much longer with it.
When I ordered the cover, I called Alaskan Leather to get the exact pad for my Valkyrie. The gal on the phone was very helpful and knew exactly what I needed.
We have used the pad for probably about five years and it still looks new. My wife loves it.
For me, I use an Air Hawk.

Another vote for Alaska Leather sheepskin pad. I have two sheepskin gel pads (one for each bike). I was using mine in combination with an Airhawk in order to alleviate my hip pain. That has now been cured by surgery.
I used to sell leather goods and sheepskin seat covers for autos. Eventually we added custom MC seats. Natural sheepskin insulates from the heat and cold and gives a more comfortable ride. Don't leave them out or ride in the rain with them. They will soak it up. Watch out for fake or "simulated" sheepskin if you don't by the AK Leather ones. It may "look" like sheepskin at first, but will not have the qualities mentioned above as well as loss of its "body" with use. :thumbup:

Another vote for Alaska Leather. I got mine at a BMW rally and used it on my Beemer for about 10 years, then brought it forward to my present 2014 RT-S.
It's a bit weather-bleached, but still works great! I've thought about getting a custom seat, but to be quite frank, I don't really need one 'cause the sheepskin works so well.
And my cat loves it too!

I lucked out , I got a pair of genuine sheepskin covers that were for a car at a garage sale $ 10.00 and they were large enough for four seats ...... they do work well in hot or cold weather ...... Mike :thumbup:

Like Bob, I completely endorse http://mistymountainsheepskin.com/ .
his website link is above but you have to call him for information and ordering. He attends some of our shows and also supports Spyder events.
He makes covers that are a perfect fit for your model and he guarantees your satisfaction, but most of all he is a great guy to talk to, I hope to meet him in person some day.
I got the RTL cover for Ryder and passenger, long wool and black.
The result was a little extra cushion, much cooler on hot days and even after a downpour it was not nearly as wet as I expected. :yikes: Also when you stop on a hot sunny day, the seat is still cool to the touch. He told me it will be warmer on cold days but I have had the opportunity to try that yet.
One other note, with the long wool it looks really cool on the Byke. :b2b:

I used an Alaskan leather sheepskin when I had my Concours. It helped but doesn't take the place of a good seat. The seat on my RSS is so much better I don't even use it anymore.
