Sheepskin Seat Cover

kitty · 08-12-2007, 09:48 PM

Hi all,

Im was wondering where I can get a sheepskin cover for the seat. ( VFR750 '96) It gets a bit too hard on day rides. I dont know about the front but I know my seat ( pillion) gets pretty hard after a couple of hours. Im in Brisbane Australia but can purchase by post if need be.

Hiya Kitty,

try this mob - from memory they offer a range of products depending upon your budget

http://www.sheepyhollow.com/

A cheaper option if you want a full cover but dont care if its 'fitted' - is to find a small lambswool floor rug (hopefully much cheaper!), cut it to shape then sow elastic straps to the underside of the hide. I've done this with my current bike and it works for me!

Good luck!

Thanks Chomper, Skidvicious,

Ive had a look at both those sites and they both seem to have what I need. Ill let you know how I go. I need the extra comfort at the moment as I had a stroke not long ago. Yep 39yrs old and had a stroke. Why... Coz Im lucky I guess!

Kitty,

I got mine through the Alaska outfit mentioned above. I have used it for four years now on both my bikes. I love it, great quality. The same old thing you hear: warm in winter, cool in summer and soft all year 'round. All I can say is it keeps my bum happy!

Hi kitty, I still have a sheepy from my '94. PM me if you would like it. I can't remember how much I paid for it, I guess I should find out how much one would be for my 5th gen.
