Default Seat Covers

Does anyone have a seat cover? The 2011 Limited seat gets extremely hot in hot weather. Makes me sweat. Rolled around the idea of some type of seat cover. Right now, I sit on a towel. Any suggestions?

An inexpensive solution is to buy a car seat pad (beads or fake sheepskin) and cut it down to size. Custom built pads for a particular bike can be pricey.
Beads work great in the heat but may be unsettling on a Spyder during high speed turns, sheepskin works well hot or cold when compared to the stock seat. Motorcycle magazines have ads for seat pads so you can look there for other offerings. If you decide on sheepskin the company in the link below offers a quality product.

I went to an IKEA store ( not sure if you have them down there) and bought a sheepskin throw rug for $39.00 and cut it down then put a couple of elastic straps with clips on to hold them on the bike

they work great

just don't let them get wet because wet dog smell is not fun to be sitting on
