Waterproof seat cover safe while riding?

[GothicGhost]

My 97 XJ900 leather seat absorbs water so I get a wet @@@ for the next day lol.

I was looking at a seat cover like this.

Another option is to buy some water repellent spray.

Not sure what one would be a better option?
Thanks for any advice.

I would look at treating or recovering the seat. Personally I dont like the idea of putting an additional layer that could slip under me

Yeah I hate to say it but I would bite the bullet and try to find someone who can replace the cover of the seat for you.

Given a bike of that age, worth replacing the padding all at the same time, it'll cost you a bit more but I would say worth doing.

Unless you fancy giving it a go yourself or course.

In the past all I've done is go onto ebay and find a seat that looks in better nick than mine and buy it. Checking for you they start from about £30

Thank you I will take a look at some seats or buy the waterproof spray.
