What have you done to bike » Rear Seat Cover or Cowl?

Hi All,
I am wondering if anyone has found or come up with some sort of cover for the rear seat. I ask because I am considering getting the Wunderlich seat and I primarily ride solo. I really don't want to spend $400 on a rear seat that no one will ever sit on just to match the main seat. A cover or cowl might be an ideal situation. Any ideas? Thanks so much.

One possibility, although the cost is still there. https://www.corbin.com/bmw/bmwr12rs16smg.shtml

The only way those things look any good is to remove the rack and grabrails

I bought a Sargent pod (the other one is just far too much $$$$$$$), but sent it straight back as it just wasn't sitting properly.

It required far, far too much force to engage the catch and was squeezing down on the rider seat cushion too much. Would have ruined the seat and broken the catch / lock in no time.

There was no way I was going to tweak and trim it to fit properly.

One little winter project is to try a mini box mounted on a spare pillion seat base that I have acquired. I reckon I can usefully move my tools and some junk out of the top box to not only free up space for touring, but redistribute some weight forward where a lard-ass pillion passenger might sit.

But I don't ever do pillions. I like to optimise my power to weight ratio

How about the BMW seat bag?

I would like it to be a few inches shorter, but it provides a lot of trunk space, in my opinion.

Hey Rob,

I wasn't satisfied with what I found available off the shelf so I created a one-off pillion/tail bag combo. I picked up a spare pillion seat and shaved the foam down to reduce the height and reshaped the sides to match the lines of the rear bodywork. I upholstered the seat to match my front seat's upholstery and have sewn the Held tail bag directly to the seat top so there are no visible straps to ruin the lines. Small but effective for day trips.
