Has anyone ever bought or used a seat cover for the OEM seats from this eBay seller? If so, what are your thoughts? Thanks.

They have mostly positive feedback, a few negatives. Looks like they have sold over 3000 covers in the last 6 months. All types of bikes with a 6-10 day delvery? I doubt if the little lady is doing all of this herself. Does make me wonder how they are doing this.

I didn't notice where they have the new and old style for the Valkyrie, so you would want to make sure you got it right.  You interested in color?  Which color?

I'll definitely confirm for fitment before placing an order. I planned on getting a red/black dual tone seat cover.

You guys that can ride on the OEM seats are bad MF'ers. I took my standard with OEM seat Sunday for a 400 miler. I hardly ride it much since I got my I/S and thought I should get her out on the road. She ran great and it was nice to have 100 less lbs. to move around. BUT my butt was killing me 200 miles in and by the time I got home I wanted off. Russell's are for me. I admit it I'm getting soft. 600 miles and still ready for more.

The newer model OEM seats are still better than the damn Corbin's.

My IS came with a leather Corbin (old) feels like sitting on a brick. Wish I had the original to compare against.

I added an Alaskan Sheepskin (long hair) to my old Leather Corbin. That was the ticket. The ride to Daytona this year was a dream compared to last year.

I've still never sat on the 2001-2003 seat before, so I don't have anything to compare it with.

I think you can pick up the newer style OEM's pretty cheap. I did from a member here and it was pristine. I felt kind of bad using it as the base for my Russell. Of course though they are for standards so it would be slightly bunched in the front. From what I'm told though they are far better than a Corbin. I have never had a Corbin though.

I saw another post about fur and beads. I was thinking about the fur to soften things up a bit and help with the summer swamp ass
