That was one of the seller sites I was looking at. Decent prices also. Does the sheepskin cover wrap completely around the seat or just the top half?

you might also check into Alaska Leather sheep skin pad. I have one and like it.
It's just a pad, covers just the drivers seat area, not the entire seat. Easy to remove for rain and hotels etc...
Just an option

Sheepskin cover wraps completely around the seat....Velcro straps under the seat.

You're the lucky one Casper. Friend ordered/bought on couple years ago....was a piece of crap! Sheepskin doesn't absorb rain water.

Thanks Barbara I didn't really want just a top cover and these look good.

I own a 2013 Ultra Limited and a 2013 TG and the seats are identical. They both leave alot to be desired as far as comfort is concerned. Both seats have been reworked by a good independent seat business and that improved comfort somewhat.

I tried a HD demo Hammock seat and liked it so well I ordered a heated HD Hammock seat that should arrive next week.

I think the Hammock seat won't fit on the TG because of the passenger hand rail grips. They either have to be removed or re- worked by cutting & splitting?
Let me know what you find & decide to do to make the seat work on the TG.

I don't have any hand rails on my trike are they standard? Wondering if previous owner removed them?

Yes, they all come new with hand rails. I'm pretty sure the heated hammock & the CVO heated hammock seat will require some modification to the rails due to the width of the seat.
