my new mustang tuck and roll seat is not waterproof......!!!
Hello everybody,
i was so happy to receive my new mustang tuck and roll seat and to see the wonderful optical result after i installed it but....
Yesterday evening my bike was parked outside and it was raining.
Before to ride it i wiped the seat with a cloth and go.
Immediatly i felt a bad sensation of wet appeared thrue my pant
i said to myself, ok it was dark i didn't wiped the seat carefully...
Today rain again, this time i wiped the seat with a cloth very carefully especially between the rolls and i jumped on the bike....
Immediatly the same bad sensation and arrived at home my pant was totally wet in the bottom area. I took a look to my ass thrue a mirror and i could clearly saw the rolls wet marks on my pant !!!
I'm totally disgusted, it means the rolls absorbe the water, means it's gone a be a big stress to ride my bike each time it will rain and i think than a seat who let the water coming inside will not live the life of the bike....At this price it's a shame!
I paid 300$ just for the shipping so you can imagine it's hard for me to think about a resent to the supplier....
Does anybody had the same experience? Any advice would be highly appreciate.....:banghead:
Thanks

Here's a picture of Ultimate's wet weather Solution
They admit it's not pretty but it is functional. I rode on a rainy weekend through VT and the seat stayed bone dry. The bike was parked outside all weekend.
The Ultimate Seat Co is very clear that their seat is not waterproof and you should cover it.
This is a 2 piece cover, for the seat and the rider's backrest that was provided by Ultimate.

Rick, selected clear, and quantity of one. press add to cart and says select options. tried many times. jim
Conditioning Ultimate Seats
A short time ago, we were discussing what conditioner could be used on Ultimate Seats to protect the material and increase water-resistance. Someone mentioned we could use ProtectAll and a discussion on where to purchase that ensued. Just today, I sent an e-mail to Des at Ultimate to confirm that ProtectAll was recommended. He answered that they did NOT recommend using ProtectAll. What they do recommend is using either their own conditioner or another product called Cycle Care Formula 4. Either of these products sell for around $17 for an 8 oz. bottle. Of course, no conditioner will help with water penetrating the thread stitching. Just thought you'd like to know :thumb:.
Smooth Seat vs Tuck and Roll....Waterproof
Just wondering, Has anyone ordered, seen or have a picture of the Corbin seat without the stitching? Seems a number of people are concerned about a wet butt due to the stitching, I was wondering if a smooth seat would be the way to go and how it would look.
Thanks
