Default Seats too hot in sun, too wet in morning

re: black leather seat in the sun burnin' my *** ,
I'M SOBER NOW AND I TAKE BACK THE QUESTION.
Yes, it's a First World problem, and I could have my valet cover it, or I could use a hemmorhoid pad, or God Forbid get White leather.


Sitting on my black motorcycle seat after its been in the sun a while is torture, burns my ***!
What do other people do?
White leather?
Loose sun cover while parked?
Also to keep dew off seat overnight, or parked in rain.

I've never really noticed that....I mean it gets hot but it's not THAT hot.

In 46 years or riding these things, this is honestly the first time I've ever heard of anyone being overly concerned about this.

Take your do-rag off and drape it over the seat.

Tell your riding buddies that you got a new seat and have them sit on your bike to check it out.....It'll be dry when they get off of it.

I like it!

I keep my bikes inside at night, but if I had to leave them out, I'd cover them up with a $20 eBay motorcycle cover...that would at least solve the dew problem. It's getting in lots of places, not just on your seat.

Maybe just sell the bike, that will fix all your problems.

I use a pro pad... Similar to a circulator pad, keeps cool.. As far as keeping dry I put my pad in the tour pak or saddlebag ...

The Harley Circulator Pad is what you need. Your welcome.

Wait until it is just warm enough to evaporate the morning dew. You will have a dry, cool to the touch seat.

Is this discussion about you coming out regarding your hemorrhoid issue? Do you have access to a shop towel? Can you afford an el cheapo bike cover? Harbor Freight may have just what you need if you look long enough. JFC.
