The seat cover was made from 3 different layers of scrap foam. I experimented with several combinations to get the "feel" right.
Imitation sheep skin was purchased  from local fabric/Sewing shop. Black pieces under seat are non-skid material from my scrap stock. White material under seat is cloth sewed to imitation sheep skin to form's a "pocket" to slide the foam inside.
Sheep skin and white liner was done by my lovely GL1800 co-rider on her sewing machine. Sewing of black non-skid material, elastic straps and closing the opening was done by hand by me.
