Fast eddy Sports is now carrying waterproof seat covers for the America and Speed, solo or two up seats as well as for Corbins. There are also models to fit most any bike. These were designed not only to keep passive rain off but water being squeezed in by you sitting on the bike. These are a must for long hauls..unless you don't ride in the rain. You spend money on expensive seats or sheep skins, this will allow you to ride in the rain, walk from the bike and leave that skin in place and not worry about soaking your jeans. eddy Water Proof Seat Cover

Saddlebag covers (EZ on and off) are almost ready. Keep your leather bags looking good and out of the rain/sun on an outing, then pull 'em off. Or, keep your painted bags safe on a roadtrip and , again, ez off when you arrive. Also keeps the dings away over winter storage. Fitmemt questions-e-mail fasteddy or me. KOF

More vids on U-Tube showing the different models in detail. U-Tube search on "king of Fleece" gets you there.
Thanks to those who have ordered. Just got an e-mail today from a guy who has one and was caught in some heavy rain sunday-he's happy his leather seat is not soaked this time.

I personally tested these this summer on a long haul where I rode for two and half hours in hard rain. When the sun came I just left it on and the seat and cover were dry when I took my rain pants off (a couple hours after I was sure it would not rain again!)
Where it really shined? I left my bike under a hotel awning that apparently was directly under a down spout, came out in the morning and the seat cover was sopping wet! I removed the cover and the the seat was completely dry which made for a great ride for the day. Jim did a real nice job on his R&D in getting the product together. He is not new to the world of comfort items for out-door sports.
What made me think about this today was I washed and waxed my bike yesterday (without out the seat cover)and went for a ride. When I got to the gas station I and got off the bike? The seem lines of the seat had made my butt wet. So it is no marketing line, it does keep you from getting wet.

It's rainy season. Protect your seat and/or leave your sheepskin on with no worries. U-Tube "the King of Fleece" for vids.

That's because this is the Vendor's forum and everyone is on their best behavior.

Totally redesigned website coming real soon-It'll be very nice with a few specials listed. I'll let you know. If you think you are gonna order from eddy better get it in sooner than later. Got to change over the machines soon for another unrelated product and re-stock will take a bit of time. KOF

New website is done. Getting to be spring riding season-that means rain. If you look at Day-Long's website you'll see they sell covers for their $500+ seats-and it's just a glorified plastic bag. Corbin has a poor one and they don't even recommend USING it in the rain as it may bleed or some such thing. A SplitWeight(tm) cover in your bag and you are GOOD to go. Among the many magazines Motorcycle Cruiser has several on test and they like them a lot. I sure hope he puts in in the mag soon as I know many want 3rd party vindication of my product. Remember, our own fast eddy is a dealer and has 4000 miles on the cover. Ask him if you want to know how they work. THX KOF

Starting to get busy. You may want to get your order to eddy before you need it as the machines switch over to another product soon for a few weeks. KOF

Just completed a custom run of covers for a Venture riders group in AK. Very happy, they are. Also restocking fast eddy next week on a few of the popular sizes. Rainy season is here and eddy's got 'em. Tested them himself, he has. Works a treat.

Anybody with a Corbin seat? I got 5 e-mails last week asking for a cover as they, and I quote, "suck up water like a sponge". This is a quick and easy fix. KOF

I have been doing an extreme test on these for the past month, in other words it has been on my bike 100% of the time. I have had people come up and ask about my seat because it looks cool, when I tell them it is not a seat but a seat cover, they go...wow, that is cool! Jim even had it monogrammed for me and it shows no sign of wear either.
If you have a leather seat is a must, if you think Triumph makes water proof seems...not so, go for a ride right after a washing or after a night of rain while on the road. KoF has made a quality product and I am one of it's fans.

I guess I better order one of these for Reboot. I noticed yesterday that the seam on my old Corbin solo is splitting and I don't know how soon I can afford to getting it recovered.
