| Has anyone seen or come up with a seat cover to keep your seat cool while parked in the sun? It could be made out of a reflective material like the use for car windshields.

I don't know how these would fit on the SilverWing and I'm not a big fan of the name.... |

| I use a mylar emergency blanket and some clothes pegs strategically placed. http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Survival-Mylar-Waterproof-Emergency-Rescue-Space-Foil-Thermal-Blanket-83-X-51-/310699818244?pt=UK_BOI_Medical_Lab_Equipment_Medical_Supplies_Disposables_ET&hash=item485726fd04
Worked a treat in the 30º+ heat in Spain in June.
I also use one to cover the MX5 when the roof is down, only difference with the MX5 is that I use earth magnets to hold it in place.

| A reflective automotive sun shade is exactly what I use.I paid less than $10.00 and was able to make two of them. You can cut it in half, sew some elastic material on and it fasten under seat.Works great. |

| I rode with a sheep skin on my Goldwings for years; First saw riders using them on my 1st trip to Sturgis, S.D.. Just laid one on my Sling after reading these post. It fits. harley |

| I used to take a golf towel and tuck it under the butt-rest. It was dark and it got hot, but I'd pull if off and toss it under the seat and ride off. |
