FuzzyRSTD Posted October 20, 2011 #1 Posted October 20, 2011 I found this site and wanted to share with all. I am not sure if they make these for first and second gens, but looks like it maybe. They show the Royal Star and then the Venture ? So just some information for anyone interested. Good prices I think. I have sent them an e-mail to learn what thickness the covers are and if they are shorn sheep wool. Will update if recieve information back from e-mail. http://sheepskinfactory.com/motorcycleselection.cfm?motorcycle=3 Also here; http://www.alaskaleatheronline.com/servlet/StoreFront Fuzzy
TDbiker Posted October 20, 2011 #2 Posted October 20, 2011 Here is another option: http://www.ikea.com/us/en/catalog/products/70026822/ I've ridden 3+ seasons with mine and aside from needing cleaning, it's still like new. It's big enough to cover both seats. I have the Mustang seat w/ driver backrest, so all I did was cut a slit for the backrest post to go through. Easy to put on & take off. Doesn't have any padding however, if that's what you're looking for.
RedRider Posted October 20, 2011 #3 Posted October 20, 2011 Or if you just want a non-fitted sheep skin, IKEA has nice ones for $20 or $30 (don't remember, it's been a while since I got mine). Make sure you go to an IKEA store in a different town than where you live. If a friend sees you in there, they will revoke your Mancard. RR

CaptainJoe Posted October 20, 2011 #5 Posted October 20, 2011 I can vouch for alaskan leather large sheared butt pad delux (uniform 1 inch thick) with nose strap... If it's really hot out and your literally sticking to the seat it sure helps... Also helps in the cold weather...
Galapagos Posted October 20, 2011 #6 Posted October 20, 2011 I get the IKEA off eBay. I can cut two seat covers out of one skin. I always have some smaller pads left for my freinds that ride Sportsters as passengers.
Snaggletooth Posted October 20, 2011 #7 Posted October 20, 2011 Hey Fuzzy, This is the outfit I was talking about last night. They made the one I have on mine, when they were still doing the 1st gens. http://www.hartcoseats.com/LAMBSKIN-SEAT-COVERS-/154/Sheepskin-seatcovers.html Mike
SilvrT Posted October 20, 2011 #8 Posted October 20, 2011 I see in that first link they show a picture of a Goldwing for a Venture! LOL

He made me a seat. it was way to hard. He redone the seat just as promised. Little slow but honest
Yammer Dan Posted October 20, 2011 #10 Posted October 20, 2011 I see in that first link they show a picture of a Goldwing for a Venture! LOL Catching a Venture to take a pic was more than they could handle so they just took one of what they were riding......:whistling:
GolfVenture Posted October 21, 2011 #11 Posted October 21, 2011 So what are the pros and cons to Sheepskin vs Bead Seat.
Snaggletooth Posted October 21, 2011 #12 Posted October 21, 2011 So what are the pros and cons to Sheepskin vs Bead Seat. Well......I'd rather sit on a lamb than a tree in the winter.

I always have some smaller pads left for my freinds that ride Sportsters as passengers. Thanks for this to all whom mentioned the IKEA stores. This is all new to me. I can not find a store in Kentucky. All the stores show them for $29.00. Closes store to me is here; IKEA West Chester 9500 IKEA Way West Chester, OH 45069 133 miles away. I checked out e-bay ($45.00 ). I wished I would have posted about this a month ago. I have been looking every where and did not see this. Thanks again, James Edited October 21, 2011 by FuzzyRSTD
