My question to you guys is...is it worth the money to get the "deluxe" pad from Alaska Leather or will the "Rally Special" work just as well?

#2 on the Aerostich. Had a single one for me, went on a 3 week Fly & Ride in Australia in 110+ degree heat, wife 'stole' it to be more comfortable in the saddle, and i never got it back! Yes, they work, and I love mine. Cool in the heat, and warmer in the cold.

+10 on Alaska Leather. I bought a set for my wife and I this spring...did a week long ride in June and think rather highly of the product. Good people to deal with and shipping was very quick.

If you order on the internet, type Dead Sheep in the promo code and get 10% off your purchase.

i was thinking of getting a sheepskin seat cover from auto zone or pep boys in a dark gray color, a car seat cover which will have plenty to cover the seat a couple of times. they have them in a few different colors, and i thought that the dark gray would work out well. a pair of good scissors, and voila, two seat covers. they cost 39 bux for an auto seat cover, and i'm thinking it should work out pretty well. any ideas?

For the Ultra, you can't beat the Harley Fitted cover. it stays on the seat and works great. you have to take the seat off to install or remove it, and its a nice clean looking instal.

Got mine from Blacksheep Trading Co. and love it. It fits the whole seat just like the factory one does. And if your on your feet alot try sheepskin inner sole pads for your shoes, work better then anything I've ever found.

I just ordered a deluxe from Alaskan Leather. I need something a little more comfy for the trip to Sturgis this month. Hopefully it will fit the bill.
