I'm not Kevin, but figured I throw my 2 cents in... I've got a "real" sheepskin and wouldn't trade it for the world. You're correct though saying riding around on a wet one is the worst. I have a H-D rain cover that covers just the front and rear seat (available with or without a backrest option). Really easy to put on and take off, so if it really looks like it's going to rain, I throw it on. Even if the rain sneaks up on you, it's so quick to put on the seat won't get wet. Also works great for those damp nights when condensation gets the entire bike wet. The cover will keep you seat dry.
