I ordered one from King of Fleece. Saw one on another bike, owner was very happy with it. I should have it by the end of the week.

I use a half cover as well. Keeps both my leather seat and passenger back rest dry.

Do you have problems with the seat when it's wet? I had the Ultimate seat on my Nomad for ~30,000 miles. I rode through torrential downpours and never had an issue with the seat soaking through. It had been out in the rain for days at a time too.

I know what they say, I'm asking if you're having problems. I ran mine for the afore mentioned for 3 years too. It still looked like the day I bought it. You make not need the cover, just my personal experience.
That being said, if you do want the cover, pony up and buy the Ultimate cover, as it was made to fit your seat. Saving 10 bucks doesn't really track if you're having to make it work.

Seems awfully counter intuitive to make a motorcycle seat that will be damaged by the elements.
I had a Corbin seat once where the top was a fabric. Very comfortable, breathable riding seat. I just used a garbage bag to cover it. Not because water damaged it but because riding it dry was better than riding with it wet.

I never would have thought to ask if a seat would be damaged by rain.
