Anyone have any experience with these? http://www.alaskaleatheronline.com/servlet/the-Sheepskin-Buttpads/CategoriesMy seat is killing me, I have to find an alternative. I've had it re-done by Spencer a couple years ago, and it was good, but it must be wearing out. I tried the airhawk and didn't like it. I tried a Corbin used that probably wasn't the right fit, and I didn't like how much further forward it put me, felt like I was sitting on the tank. I'm hoping maybe sheepskin will work out well. Looking for some reviews from you guys. Thanks.

I bought one while at Sturgis in '08, got it for cheap and use it all the time when I'm gonna be on the bike for long trips. I like it, it does actually seem to be cooler in the summer since your ass can breathe a bit

Send it back to Spencer and have it redone. Cant beat the price and it worked for you in the past

Dave, did you go with the long hair or the short hair version?

I had one with my '02 TBA for several years. Because it flattens out so much on a long trip I really didn't think it was that much more comfortable, but it did help keep the seat a little cooler. I think I still have it. My son uses it on his bike now.

Never tried the sheepskin, but I've used this for a few years now and it adds a layer of cush while keeping the swamp-ass away. http://www.harley-davidson.com/store/circulator-large-seat-pad
