So are you guys talking about the ones from Alaskaleather.com?
Is this brand the better of them all?

Happy with the AK Leather Butt Pad.... This is an XL on the stock 09 Ultra seat. Should be easy to trim..

For hot weather...or any distance riding, you might also try compression shorts under your jeans instead of anything cotton. They work!

Be sure to get the Alaskan sheepskin. They retain the cold from the great white north and are alone in having that quality. The next best would be Himalayan Yakskins although they tend to have an aroma that might remind one of sushi.

Awesome feedback! Thank you...

The skin is on it's way. I have a corbin that is shaved on the sides, so it's not as wide as the stock FLHX seat. The XL I'm getting should work perfect. The extra should drape over the heat sheilds as many of you mentioned. I'm still curious on actualy HOW this works to keep your 'assets' cool? When you say "Fur" you think HEAT. Well.. I'll find out sooner than later.
