The Cyclery Rain Seat Covers

Faithful reproductions of the H-D Solo Seats with non-vented (= undrilled) seat pan and open, unrolled edges as it was original 1934-1939. Just like the factory counterparts they feature thin stuffing for slim appearance. Another nice detail is the patent stamp on the bottom leather strip. These seats sport excellent craftsmanship and top quality leather.

That placing sheepskins on the relatively hard horse saddles significantly increased riding comfort was already known to the cowboys. So it didn’t take long until sheepskins were also fitted to the Troxel and Mesinger seats of the pioneer motorcycles of the 1910s and 1920s. The Wrecking Crew came to greatly appreciate this during the Cannonball Race in the USA, where riding times of 8–10 hours a day on the 1915 H-D Model J were quite normal. It’s truly amazing what a difference a piece of sheepskin can make. It’s super comfortable, insulates against engine heat, and keeps you warm when temperatures drop. Even a rain shower isn’t a problem, as sheepskins naturally absorb very little moisture. Finally, such a cover is also an excellent way to protect an aged original seat that you no longer want to expose to the elements....
