Wool seat cover

[FantasticJohnR]

Went riding today with my friends and one had a wool cover for the seat of his GS (it came with his purchase of this bike from an ebay seller). It didn't have a manufacturer tab or name.

It was so comfy on the tushy. I like the 06 seat OK, but thought if they made one of these for the FJR I wouldn't have to buy the custom seargent seat I was thinking of.

Does anyone know of makes/manufacturers of lambwool seat covers that fits the 06 FJR seat form?

Very comfy

I also bought my sheepshin cover from Alaska Leather. I've been using it on top of an Air Hawk seat cushion on my '06 and find it to be very comfortable. I think this setup may eliminate my need for a custom seat. At least for a while.

Adios...

I have one for me and I also have the pillion seat cover. Here's what I found...for shorter trips (<400 miles), it does a nice job. Once you get beyond 400 miles, it seems to get smashed down and doesn't provide the same comfort as the start of the ride. To overcome this, on a long ride, I'll only use it on every other tank of gas. I think alternating the pressure points during a ride helps to provide some additional comfort. I doubt it provides the comfort of a full-on custom seat, but, the custom seats that I have seen have their downsides, also.

Thanks for all the suggestions.

I have looked at the Alaska leather seat covers; has anyone tried it on an 06 model- it looks like the medium fits the early FJR's nicely- but how about the 06 driver seat?

I bought mine from https://www.sheepyhollow.com/ had it shipped to Canada. Got the covers for both seats. Not cheap but money well spent.

Hi John, I ordered the small for the front and it more than covers the front section of the 06 two piece seat. May even need to trim it a bit.

Great, that's exactly the kind of info I needed.

I use a lamb pelt, cut to fit. If and when it wears out I got more to replace it. Same as the 'custom', just more for the money.

I think this is the ultimate for long distance hauling: LDComfort Shorts

Don't forget a bit of GoldBond or MonkeyButt powder

There is also a 'poor-man's' Airhawk that is call a BunSaver. Here is a link that will give you some information: BunSaver Review I have one of these and they work like magic. I was thinking of covering the ugly camo with some sheepskin for the ultimate BunSaver!

Don't forget a bit of GoldBond or MonkeyButt powder

And don't forget, the WalGreen brand of medicated body powder contains EXACTLY the same ingredients in identical proportions as GoldBond powder, yet a 10 oz. Walgreen powder at $3.99 compares to the 4 oz. GoldBond at $4.29.

Compare

And it looks like the CVS Medicated Powder in the 13 oz size is comparable, ingredients-wise.

Saving money is always much appreciated- this advice will definitely save my butt

Purchased one of these from eBay https://stores.ebay.com/Cyber-Saddlery, item # 7213902402. Used it on a 7k mile trip to Nova Scotia and loved it. Had to trim it a little to conform to the tank but otherwise was an easy install.
