Here's some shame(ful) self promotion about the 100% genuine sheepskin seat covers my wife and I are selling. I've used sheepskin for years and it has literally saved my butt! We found some in stock at our local Costco, so we bought them all up and are passing the goodness on to you so you don't have to spend $100 for the full thing or deal with cutting the buggers ;) These covers cost a little less than half of what other sellers charge!
You can get some at everideadv.com/ (scroll to the bottom) or use the direct links:

Of course sheepskin seat covers work I'm a motorcycle postman in Australia and I'm in the saddle for a minimum of 5 hours a day even in temperature that is regularly over 35 degrees Celsius
@sublieutenant, what do you do when it rains? Does wet sheep skin smells? Thanks in advance.
Best line... "move somewhere they don't have capitalism ". I laughed out loud.
Me too.
same here
This video is not sponsored by sheep.
The sheep are like the cows at Chic Fil A :)
Furry face, furry mic, furry bike, um just what direction is this channel going anyway, evFurRide? :D
It saves my butt!
That's the best endorsement I've ever heard honest and straight to the point
take the cover off when you camp out, use it as a mat under your sleeping bag air mattress ect. it helps.
What about directly riding a sheep with 21" legs forward and 17" on the rear?
Love my sheepskin. I picked mine up from Costco as well, trimmed to fit and sewed bungee straps to go around the seat. Smart of your wife to grab a bunch!
Can I order some sheep skin underpants. Fur side in :>)
I'll see what I can sew up... because I'm gettin' summa that for myself!
Hahaha! Count me in!
Try bamboo (yep seriously) !!
Received mine a few weeks ago but finally got around to installing mine today. Ended up lacing it on using shock cord. Looks great and i am sure it will work great! Thanks for sending this!!
Super stoked! I placed my order before I finished watching the video! I have been meaning to get one of these and just haven't gotten around to it, but no excuses now.
Just bought one. A good price, nothing fancy. Just what I was looking for.
I had a sheepskin on my Drz supermoto and for aggressive riding theyre way better than normal seat pads as they don’t move about on the seat. So you can move around on the seat but the sheep stays put and the thick fur padding also keeps you planted in the seat when you need it to. The front of the seat also felt wider and more padded, so more contact for your thighs to grip. It was basically like a soft foam tall seat but without having to hack your seat to bits..
Thank you for passing the savings on!
Just ordered one, looking forward to testing it out.
Just bought mine. Figured I would try this before a whole new seat from seat concepts. Thanks
Glad you did some self-promotion. This is a good price. I ordered one right away.
I will definitely check these out on your site. Looks interesting and a good way to support your channel
definitely going to buy one on friday! Been looking for some nice sheep skin. And I love your channel.
Sheepskin is the bomb! Warm in winter, cool in summer, water resistant, doubles as a pillow stuffing when camping (put it in a stuff sack)! Adds more seating positions to your bike too. I have been using sheep skin on my V-Strom for over two years and love it. I just bought The Duh Factor's big orange BMW and ill be rocking some sheep skin on it too once it gets here to west Texas. Ride on!
I have been wanting to try out the sheepskin route for over a year but it never made it to the top of the list...until now. At this price and with your endorsement what can go wrong?! Thanks for looking out for us poor ADV riders. Keep up the GREAT work my friend!
I love your channel dude. I think I'm going to get rid of my cruiser and try some adventure riding. Great videos. You think you could make me a set of sheep skin scrubs for work? I think my patients would like 'em lol
Glade to see you more active. Planning to be in St George first week of November with my DRZ E to try it out.
Right on! Yeah I need to create more videos even if they're a little bit raw.
Yah raw is real. We always want more but real gets us through till next time.
I re purposed an old car seat cover when I saw the crazy price. Tyler yours seem to be priced really well!
Yeah they can get pretty pricey! Repurposing a car seat is an excellent idea!
On Saturday I did an Iron Butt Saddle Sore 1000 on a stock KLR650 with a stock seat. The only modification was a Coleman ATV seat cover and a sheep skin. No monkey butt, no hot spots, the sheep skin works. I think riding a KLR650 for 18+ hours with no lingering soreness is proof of that.
My fiance ordered a couple of these for our bikes . I would definitely rate these 5 stars !!!
I have something similar motorcycles wise. The bmw r1150r black full of extra stuff, and the Suzuki dr 350... I would love to see you making a video of one. I think she amazing, so much so that I'm totally rebuilding it. It's already in the process. Keep going, and be happy, that's the most important thing. Cheers 🥂
I use a cut strip of car tyre tube I slip over the front of the seat the tube stays on the seat and it holds the skin on really well.
NZ defiantly has the best sheepies 😀
Perfect for my bonnie solo-seat, and the KLR! 75 bucks to the door for the pair; sounds like a steal, considering it helps a fella out.
Funny man. Great idea. I’m in Canada so I guess I’ll have to make my own.
In the morning when dew is on it just brush your hand across and it dries quickly, The main reason I love mine is when the sun has been beaming down on your black leather seat and you swing your leg over and place your butt on the seat your nuggets don't start to boil. lol
I just bought a sheepskin two days ago for a trip I've got coming up! If it doesn't work out for some reason, I'll revisit your site.
How did it perform? Cool in the heat? Too unbeareable when wet?
They are great for long trips and you get the pleasant wet dog smell in the rain :)
I bought one, thats actually a good price for a sheep skin seat cover. I've seen them online for $100 or so. But if I can get one for 1/3 the price and support my favorite CZcamsr I'm all in :D
Great price. Just ordered a triangle and a rectangle. One for my Harley and one for my KTM.
Aussie and Kiwis "love" their sheep!!
I'm sorry to hear that BMW didn't work out for you. I was looking forward to hearing about it on a trip to Alaska. If I weren't so far from you I would consider buying the bike.
What are your thoughts on those 3D mesh seat covers? I find them cooler than the sheep skin when it's hot and the drain well when it rains but they also freeze you in the cold
Just ordered. My stock seat on my Ninja 1000 is not bad but maybe this will help. Also, I’m hoping for miracles on the stock KLX250 seat.
I've got the stock seat on my drz and it's really not that bad. Maybe the seat concepts seat really is that nice though.
A company called alaskaleather.com has been selling sheepskin motorcycle seat pads for years. They make them to fit different makes and sometimes have sales. They also have generic pads of various sizes available.
I’ve had them on my bikes for years and won’t ride without one.
Business jets and airliners come with built-in sheepskin in the pilots seats for a reason, the guys are in the seats for long periods of time.
Off topic but I’d like to see your headlight mod on the WR if I could pics or something?
Love the Video and the Raw format. I will pick one of these dead animal skins up from you before our long ride to somewhere awesome next year ;-)
I had the issue on my concours 14 of the stock seat causing me to constantly slide into the tank. Ordered a Sargent seat to try and combat this. It helped the sliding into the tank part, but it's hard as hell. Like 100 miles in I'm starting to squirm. 200 miles and I'm done. I don't want to drop another $500+ into a different seat and have the same issues. So anyone that ordered one, does it work?
I've got an Alaska Leather brand sheep skin. It really didn't do anything for me and I was concerned about it getting rained on and then stinking, so its sitting in the house here doing nothing. But, $37 is a GREAT deal on those sheep skins! The Alaska leather ones are more. A lot more.
pepsi is your logo? I kid love your stuff, you or ride victoria was my first moto vlogger I ever found and got me into the motorcycle idea, been about 3-4 years and next march i'll be able to pick up a bike. Hoping I can find a nice crf250l on the used market but meh. So many good bikes to choose from, still trying to decide between a cruiser or dualsport. Life is good, God bless you and your family.
Thanks Cho! I'd bypass the 250L and maybe get a WR250R or even a DRZ. They're about the same weight but with a little more power, and in the case of DRZs, may even be a little less expensive :)
Already got one. Sheepskin works!
Just ordered mine!
Thoughts on sheep skin cover for scooter seats?
Ya I spent money on custom seating for my Vstar so my partner could enjoy more riding. But it was not until I put the sheep skin on the seat when the complaining stopped. Best wishes Tyler
So the sheep skin just sits on top of your seat? It doesn’t slide around? Also I’m looking at shinko tires for my Wr250r. I ride mostly street, unfortunately, here in NJ. Could you recommend one, the 244 or 700? Thanks so much. I would love to buy your BMW if I could.
Ordered mine
What about Canada? Could there be a shipping fee you could charge?
Baaahhhd ass video Tyler! LOL
I need a rectangle piece for my Xr650L, let me know if you have them.
Hey, Tyler. Me and my buddy Timo are at the Moab KOA? Wanna ride with us ... or maybe just have a beer? Would love to meet you.
No doubt the Beemer runs tip top... If MR Duh worked his magic on it :)
I lovvvvve my sheepskin cover. The company i ordered it from calls them butt savers, and thats exactly what it is and does. I bought mine for $89 i believe? Really didnt break the bank and far cheaper than going with an after market seat for my KLR. I bought mine in brown and black from a company in Pennsylvania called sickafus....or something like that, and i use it on my KLR during my 2.5 hour commutes to NYC and let me tell you, it works! My bum and back would both be murdering me with the stock seat, the sheep skin fixed that immediately. Another thing about it: its literally a head turner. When i park my bike, dozens of people gawk at it and take pictures, i had one guy run up to me telling that it's freaken wicked awesome. It also ticks off the super sensitive fruit cups in NYC. 😊
Just bought one from the same company can't wait to give it a try
Wool is an amazing fiber. They still cannot replicate it.
Ya got any that fit a “16 Harley-Davidson Electra Glide?
Ordered!
Got it in the mail yesterday. Just a quick test sit so far, but I'm impressed. Now just the task of seeing how to get it so it will mount to my BMW R1100RT and my F650GS Dakar...
I'm in. Will these add 20hp, take off 50lbs, lower the seat hight and cure cancer? I'm ordering two. Driver/passenger ktm1290. Thank you!
Nevermind - Got it
is it comfortable? Is it better than air seats?
It's ok no international shipping, I can get plenty here, in Australia....lol
Debating on aftermarket seats as well.
The cb500x seat is hard as hell
still getting in the 90's here
It's been weird lately... last week it was high 80s and seemed hot. This week it dropped to the mid 60s. I'd like to have a little "fall" weather before skipping right to desert winter :)
A+ for Alaska Leather
Good deal on the sheepskin. I’d get one but I’m in Canada so that won’t work . Ride safe cheers.
Where can I purchase this?
Yes sheepskins work. Just make sure it’s a REAL sheepskin. No artificial ones!
Tyler: Lots of luck! I've been trying to sell an R1150R WITH only 16k miles plus an ALASKA LEATHER sheepskin seat for $3400 for the last few months in Logan. Rees
You even had to have some on the microphone too! :)
Hey bro are you in Arizona? I’m looking for some of that sheepskin for my bike
Tyler, would you recommend a sheep skin on top of a Seat Concepts seat cover?
Hi
What kind of bike u ride?
U don’t find seat concepts comfy alone?
I’m debating on sheepskin , beads or aftermarket seat
@@copperworksplumbing7643 KTM 640 Adventure. Haven't added the Seat Concepts seat to it yet but considering it.
I have one in my cart, do you still have some? 3/31/21
Just went to your site. Couldn't find the sheep skin. Help!
Whats the site? I want one
Still available?
Who's this Neil guy? ;-) This video had pun potential... but you didn't want to pull the wool over our eyes! :-P Some time back in the UK, Ikea had them for baby cribs .... ~$30 a piece. I think they hiked the price up a bunch and replaced it with synthetic which is shear madness! Do you make cuts for Lamb-rettas? ;-)
My Klr came with one. It’s awesome except my buddies make fun of it. Old guy, candy ass etc. lol
Is that a tribble?
Are you still selling these
Beard is sexy! Was headed though UT to maybe stay at your B&B but never heard back from you. That was last week, sorry it didn't work out.
Are you still selling these?
i rode 1500 miles one way on a honda sabre v65 stock seat. horrible. the other way with a sheep skin like that and i could go twice as long being comfotable
1sec, laughing... sheepskin mic :D:D:D
NZ= Merino wool. Doesnt itch compared to normal sheep skin.
Everybody likes their own flavor
Let's talk about that ZR2 in your driveway...
New Zealanders sure do "love" their sheep.
Tb0n3 and our emus.
❤️🤟🏼
There is the story of an aussie who reckoned he was only trying to help the sheep over the fence....by NZ wool best in the world.
How are you going to look cool, at Starbucks, without the BMW.?
lol! I've never looked cool at Starbucks... even with the BMW ;)
or I sell the bike and buy a sheep in sm trim 🤠🤘
"Or move where they don't have capitalism." Haha love it.
I meant sheepskinhide.com its imported from aukland for 59.99
dry balls the end
Why not edit out the bloopers only behind the scene producers and wife's think it's cute
