I am looking for a Rain Cover for my Corbin Seat. Corbin Does NOT have a Rain Cover for the F6B. Bad enough a Motorcycle Seat is not waterproof but to not have a Rain Cover available is a real pain.
Has anyone searched out and tried the universal fit covers??? I know I will need to alter what ever I may find but thought I would ask before I just throw money out on a chance.
Sprays and Wax do not cut it due to all the stitching on this Seat. A good waterproof cover is the one way for me.
Next time we ride you can try my ultimate "ride on rain cover" to see if it fits well enough.
I had it in the saddlebag yesterday.
I never thought to bring it up yesterday. Thanks.Quote:

Thanks, I didn't think of Hartco. Their seats are wide also like the Corbin.Quote:

I just ordered one thru JP Cycles that I believe is made buy Mustang. It is a universal fit with a backrest cover all in one. At least I hope so... ha ha ha
I'll see when it comes in.
One might say that you are experiencing rain pain that hurts the brain. :-)Quote:

Mink oil......
I agree 100%! Especially after spending a 12 hour day riding on a wet Ultimate seat. :icon_frown:Quote:

I wanted to add a plastic lining to my Mustang seat. Unfortunately, they glued the driver's portion to the foam. Next time I feel like getting in there, I'll cut the seat from the foam and add the plastic. My Mustang seat foam gets wet when just washing the bike. :yikes:
I feel better now ... :icon_lol:
Very sorry guys I forgot to report back on the Rain Cover..
The Cover is from JP Cycles and is a one piece cover with a section that covers the backrest. If anyone forgot I have the Corbin Dual Tour with Drivers Backrest.

It ha s a tag inside "Made by Mustang". It will fit but I had to cut the elastic to do so. Also I can NOT sit on the seat while the cover is on, but that is OK for me. for $28 it does what I want..
