seat protector

I will be riding the Bob to work and she will sit out during the day. What can I use on the stock(vinyl) seat to protect it from the sun. I don't need my *** sliding off it and I don't want the seat to crack, etc yet. Actually, the seat is comfortable so far only put 260miles on one day and was fine. Will let you know after 500!

RE: seat protector

Why don't you get a full cover and protect the whole bike from sun and rain. If you get a plain one ($50?), it will serve to disguise that it is a Harley to would-be thiefs (not that that will stop them long, bastards).

RE: seat protector

I got a defender cover for the apartment and a security system (like that will help - LOL). Was just looking for something simple to protect during the day. Maybe a dust cover isn't a bad idea. I just hate carring all that **** around. Mako

RE: seat protector

i got a nice cover from Exigent in PA, packs up very small and covers right to ground.
If you mean you just want UV protection for seat, I use Formula 303 on seat, canoes, kayaks, etc. Kind of like Armour all but no petroleum and supposedly more uv resistant.

RE: seat protector

you could leave a bike cover at home and get another one to keep at work, then you wouldn't have to lug anything around.

RE: seat protector

Don't worry about it. Mine sat out for years and the seat surface never deteriorated. But I used a Mustang seat. Although, if you park in brutal sunlight that seat can get a little hot.

I've seen a small cover that stretches from handlebars to rear fender that would be good sun protection.
