    Now your in my yard. These seats are critical for riding, especially for all day high mileage travel. It's like saddle sore from a horse maximum discomfort if the seat isn't padded right and made to fit for each person.

    My Uncle Ray, former drummer for Buck Owens in Bakersfield, rode Harleys. His riding friends rode Honda Gold Wings. One of them stitched up a new leather seat for my Uncle's Harley. Some time later after realizing his friends were talking behind his back, he realized the stitching in the seat was a big "GW." Yep.

    The plastic "silk" wrap is not just used to make it more slippery. We hook a shop vac to that and vacuum down the foam. Makes it much easier to get the cover on.
