Do you have one?

[@JeffBurmester]

I think you're missing probably the biggest thing this cover does. I've seen advertisement saying this is like air conditioning; it's not. You mentioned that you can't even really feel the air moving at all through the seat, and when it's hot out, I agree with you. I also don't think it was designed to make your seat more comfortable. What I've noticed, even on the hottest days, when you can't feel any air through it at all, I don't get monkey butt! I use to use baby powder, then Butt'r anti-chafe cream, anything I could think of. With this cover, even when it's pushing 100 degrees, my pants do not stick, I do not sweat there. That's the one and only reason I love this thing. It's my second one on the second bike.

Cooler weather headed south next week 😎👍

Pete, I put one on my 2021 bagger and love it, I think I found the secret to making it cool better as well. I have upper and lower wind deflectors mounted and when I direct them so that they force air back on my lower body I can feel the air going though the cover and it does work great in the Fl heat....

Wind protection on the wing is much better so the airflow definitely makes sense.

Don’t have one and was looking. Thanks for the brutally honest review.

I bought my DCT Tour used and it came with a Corbin seat that sits me 2” further back, which puts me in more of a sport touring lean. The seat is firm, but very supportive. Yesterday I rode from Salt Lake City to Sacramento (about 700 miles) and I did really good wearing my padded bike shorts.

New subscriber! Thanks for the honest review. I purchased an Ultimate seat for my 2023… but I know some guys considering this. Cheers from Dallas (Frisco).

[@Petesmotoadventure]

Welcome! And thank you. Enjoy that new ride.

Use a Gel seat on top of seat from cycle gear i bought for the wife. It works great.

[@Petesmotoadventure]

@@richthereturnrider6737 I have a gel cushion as well. Better for my needs.

[@sandmage1950]

Had a similar seat cover on my Street Glide and I was most impressed with it's ability to shed water. Even in the rain, my pants were not nearly as wet and never had to be concerned with heavy dew on the seat.

[@Petesmotoadventure]

Mine had the exact opposite with the dew. was wet as heck.

[@sandmage1950]

@@Petesmotoadventure My seat cover was by Air-Flow. I could see the water streaming from under the cover. I have no experience with Windrider.

[@BigBert]

I have one, used it once and took it off. Might try it again once summer gets here again and give it a chance to impress 😎✌🏻

[@Petesmotoadventure]

Can’t hurt to try it again.

[@northbysoutheast5439]

My wife seems to like hers 😎👍👍

[@Petesmotoadventure]

A lot of people like them. It just doesn’t work for me.

[@TyFromTennessee]

I recognize many of those roads your on....interesting...

[@Petesmotoadventure]

I was visiting someone up there. Oh wait that may have been you. Lol

[@TB-ug4cp]

Surprised you got it to fit well. Mine was misshaped forward of the backrest hole and as I can see on yours it doesn't follow the forward U at seat and interferes with opening the fuel door. There was no allocation for the 2 forward push pins and was a hell of time getting the seat on with it installed. After contacting them and getting the run around and a bunch of questions that had nothing to deal with my issues they agreed to a refund if I sent it back. Still waiting on the refund. A friend of mine got one for his GW and eventually took it off as he couldn't get his seat back on with it.

[@Petesmotoadventure]

It fits ok. I have the same problems with it. Gas cap and front posts.
