I love this place. When I have a rotten day and cant go for a ride, I can always count on a couple of laughs in here.
Put it in a 50lb bag of rice for three days.

Put it on the top toward the back of the frig. The gentle heat will dry it over night.

My got soaked after a two hour ride at the beginning of the summer. I left it out in the sun for two days, still dripping wet. Put it in my dry sauna for about an hour, still wet. Propped it up against a wall in the garage to let the water drain out. The next weekend I had to use a different seat cause my solo was still oozing water out from the seams. Good luck

As suggested earlier, prop it up longways to let the water run out. When it stops, put it back on the bike. Go to Walmart and buy a small package of large baby diapers. Lay one on the seat, absorbent side down of course, and go for a ride. You may need a second one but you will be surprised at how much moisture they will pull from the seat. Keep the rest of the package for the next time your seat gets soaked, which it will. Now let the jokes begin.

Take the seat off and pack it in a good quality sea salt.
