Thought I would share our experience with wooden bead seat cover. We had never tried them before but wanted something different as we are not happy with our seat. I bought 3 sets to try out, one for me, one for her and one to hang down on the passenger backrest to keep her back from getting so wet while riding. After a 4 day ride I have to say we are sold on these things. We would both get the sensation that we were sitting in some water in the early mornings with the cold air that would get under us and our tails stayed dry and cool all day while riding. Also the one hanging down on the passengers backrest kept her back dry all day, she loved that thing, just need to make a smaller one for my backrest now. It also was more comfortable riding all day long as this was the initial goal. We have an ultimate seat and have never cared for it and have tried different cushions and were not happy. We tried the wood beads as a long shot and man were we surprised. I know they will not be for everyone but they work for us, and the beads on the passengers backrest was a home run, we would stop after an hour of riding in the heat and her back was dry as a bone. Just wanted to share in case anyone else was having issues with their seat.
