Sheepskin Seat Cushion Pad

Post by EasyRider »

So i've been looking at getting a sheepskin cover for my seat.
Now what is putting me off ATM is the worry of sliding.
Does anyone have one fitted to there RT or any bike who could give me some real life info.

Hi. Only thing would double check is that it is cut to suit your bike. I bought one before, although not of this seller, and it was nothing more than what looked like an off cut from some mat. Dog got it in the end :lol:

These were often quoted as the benchmark for my other bikes. I ended up exchanging the bikes too often but everyone that bought one seemed to rave about them. My RT with the mesh pad seems good for me.

I've got one, not this brand, but the leather underside grips the seat fine, I've not had a problem slipping, but when it gets wet it stays wet :shock:

They give a bit of extra comfort, but not a massive amount, I cant remember how much I paid for it, so I suppose it depends if you fancy a punt and see if it helps, under £40 is not a lot of money these days :?:

Go to a boot sale and get yourself a cheap Del Boy Sheepskin coat. Then you can cut it to size. Bit of elastic and you have a very cheap seat cover

I did this last night after reading your post. I won a full length jacket on eBay for £4.99 + £4.99 postage (£9.98 total)
