 Posted: 21:49 - 15 Feb 2008  Post subject: Sheep skin seat cover |
 |
|
been looking into ways to make the seat on my XR650R more comfortable have heard of people using sheep skin covers instead of having a custom seat made or adding gel pads etc, any one on here used one for long distance riding before?
was about to send my seat off to be reshaped but for this price its a great saving.

Just do what John did and cut up and old sheep skin coat, you can probably get them down a charity shop fairly cheap.

Bit ghey though init? My dad had one in his car in the 70's (when they were fashionable) to keep his back warm after he slipped a disc. Unless you got wicked piles I think it'll be more trouble than it's worth.

He's thinking of putting it on it for 'long journeys' - does make a worthwhile difference if your on the bike for hours on motorways especially. |
