sheepskin seat cover
I have a 2008 Nomad with standard seats. Considering purchasing sheepskin seat covers. Any opinions on makes, long hair or sheared? I had a sheepskin rug (long hair) that just rested on top of my 81 Gold Wing. I live here in FL. and seats get hot! Anyone have a custom fit cover?

Welcome to the forum. I'm in Naples, where in Florida are you? Might as well give us a full introduction...
As far as the sheepskin, I've used this off and on, especially in the summer: http://www.alaskaleather.com/index.html Since I got a Mustang seat, it's more off than on. Joe |

Welcome to the forum from Crystal River, FL. I have a friend up here with a Wing that has a sheepskin cover that he picked up at Ikia and fitted it to his scoot.

I live in Panama City Beach. Just got back into motorcycling after 15 years without a bike. Two friends have Nomads and I always admired the bikes. Our riding group usually consists of two Nomads and a brand new Harley Ultra Trike. Have you ever been up for "Thunder on the Beach"? |

First off. Welcome to the Nad house
I myself have a sheep skin from Alaska leather too. Great investment to say the least.

Never been to Thunder on the Beach. Is that in the fall or spring? I think I have football during it.

Bought a think of black dye and turned it black no problem. Now I just wish I had a full size one, not a dog chewed one. They were only about $20 at Ikia I think. |

Diveboatcaptain, welcome to the Nomad Nation from the Grand Canyon State! I know a little bit about a motorcycle seat getting hot. I started using a beaded seat cover for long rides on hot days, and it made a big improvement. Check out www.beadrider.com

Welocome! You've come to the right place for all the latest nadformation.
I started using a sheepskin on the advice of a friend and wouldn't be without it now. I actually had an old hospital full length pad I fashioned to fit. But, check Gadgets Site, there's a skin on the cheap meathod there, along with many more great ideas about how to spend your money. Good luck!
