Title: Alaska Leather Sheepskin Butt Pad
Post by 911radioman on 04/01/06 at 11:37:23

Here is a pic of the sheepskin butt pad I installed. It feels great on the buns and makes for a more tolerable ride. Best $39 I ever spent!

I'm going to do the seat lift mod probably on Monday. I'm not doing anything else to the bike today... I'm gonna go to sleep soon!!! :D

And for grins, here is a shot of the whole bike now. Pardon the mess, the Savage is dirty and needs a good detailing!

Thanks. I think I'm just about done with it for now. I'm going to do the seat lift mod the first of the week, and then I want to get the Kuryakyn helmet lock to go on the grips.

I got a seat cover from an exercise bike. It had elastic all around but when I undid it, it was as large as my seat. Thinking the Alaska leather was as thick or thicker, I ordered one. Sorry, The $45 Alaska Leather pad was thin wool and only had one set of tie towns (to go under the seat). The $10 exercise bike seat cover was thicker, and after sewing buckles and a velcro strap to the front, it is much thicker and a lot more comfortable than the Alaska one. I was really disappointed in their pad.
But now that i have it all installed, I have what may be a short under the seat, so now I have to go undo the 3 bolts and check all the wiring.
But when I sewed the straps to the pad I used the buckles from the Alaska one, and a velcro wire harness strap, and it is in place but removable.

How many tie downs you need on that thing anyhow? After all, your butt is actually holding it down... :D

I use an Alaska Leather cover on my other bike. It's very nice. All one piece and quite thick. No complaints from me and I'm picky ;)

I just got a gel and sheepskin pad for my LS650. I haven't put enough miles on it yet to give a review. It is very nicely made and the no slip surface on the bottom really works.

Mine is from http://www.sheepyhollow.com/. Now that Summer seems to be back (91° F here yesterday), I'll be putting it back on soon.
