Does anyone own a Cycle Shade?

I have one and it works great. I only use it when im at work and the bike will be sitting in the sun for 8 hrs. No shade where i park and its nice to not climb on a burnning hot seat.

Works great...
If you're sitting under an umbrella in the hot sun its still hot. But, the sun isn't beating down on you and cooking on your skin .
The seat is a lot cooler with it.

Question Why Black?

I sent the maker this question by email but didn't get a response.
Why the hell do they make them only in black?
Defeats the purpose don't you think?

Exactly... the sunshades you put in your cars windshield are silver/chrome reflective, why not Cycle Shade?

Harley doesn't make a cycle shade unless your using a rain cover.
