HD Circulator pad!!!!!!!!! I let a buddy use mine and he said ......"man I thought you were joking about this thing" ......and if u just so happen to be a lil sweaty from sitting in traffic, for example..........as soon as that bike starts to moving it feels like a fan is connected to your butt because the pad allows air to move around and it dries me off quickly. I wear dress pants to work....If I don't use that pad, my pants would actually be damp or wet if its very hot outside. With that pad, I can run to lunch, etc ....and I'm dry.
Just picked one up from my Indy off the consignment rack ($25). Had to cut it up a little but for $25 worth a try. On my 3rd seat on my SGS after 40-50 miles I find myself squirming about, 75 miles I needed to get off and recover.
So far only been on a 60 mile run with much improved comfort. Pretty amazing so far. Not totally crazy about the looks.... but easy to store and flops on in seconds.
I put on an Alaska Leathers sheepskin cover on the Road King last year.
It's been on the bike ever since. I don't give a rats *** about how it looks,
but it really doesn't look at that bad to me.
Anything that makes my rider more comfortable is a plus for me.
Money well spent IMO
Well, i ordered a sheepskin pelt and a set of bead seat covers for a total of under $80. makes sense to me to try these before spending $500+ for a custom seat! thanks for all your input, guys!
Sheepskins used to be (and I believe still are) used in hospitals to prevent bedsores. So I guess there is a medical/scientific background to their function. I have an old free form sheepskin that I used to use in my Yukon for road trips, but now have air conditioned seats. Sheepskins are great, warm in the winter, cool in the summer. Who cares how it looks.
Sheepskin used to be hugely popular back in the day
Oh God yes. 30 plus years ago, you could barely stumble across a serious touring bike (regardless of brand) that didn't have a Sheepskin strapped on the seat. They were all the rage. But yeah, they just sort of faded away.
and other than A quick ride somewhere. I don't leave home without it. I not sure its as magical as some would lead you to believe. It not going to make a crappy seat good but it will definitely helps any seat and will make a good seat great!
They work great on hot or cool days. We have a shaved black pelt that I just throw over the whole seat. Flaps around a little bit who cares. With every cent and I think I Paid $59 from a road side leaner shop. I was going to cut it down but the extra pelt acts like a crotch cooler.
Nothing works well on 100 degree days in stop and go weather however.
