How is the sheepskin working out for you?

I bought one in 2007 and it didn't have the nose strap. I stand on my pegs a lot and the nose would flap up in the wind. Last year one of the plastic strap buckles broke so I contacted the company to see if they would fix it and add a nose strap which they did for a small charge. Their customer service was great!

The Alaska Butt Pad is one of the best bang-for-the-buck farkles that I have. I recommend getting the nose strap whether you stand on the pegs or not. It helps keep it more secure on the seat and is well worth the few extra dollars. I don't have a pic to show, but it's just an elastic strap that is sewn onto the sides of the pad about 3 inches down from the front. You just slip it under the front of the seat.

I also prefer the charcoal over the black color. Most people go with black because the seat is black, but the black seems a lot darker than the seat. The the charcoal seems to blend in better.

I can't imagine riding long distance on any bike without a sheepskin pad. Which reminds me, I need to order one for my DR650.
