Description
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
Field of Invention

The present invention relates to a seat cover system adapted for use on a motorcycle.


Description of Related Art

A motorcycle normally includes a seat that is exposed to weather conditions when parked. Motorcyclists normally require use of a helmet and a leather jacket. If a rider is also riding the bike then an additional helmet and leather jacket may be part of the gear that's used and needed for motorcycle operation. Normally, this gear is left on the motorcycle in the saddlebags or other storage compartments near or associated with the seat. As a result, the gear along with the seat and saddlebags are exposed to weather conditions and further may be susceptible to theft. It would be advantageous to have a lockable seat cover for both the seat and any accessory compartment such as saddlebags. The cover's lock provides a means to secure the gear and saddlebags while the operator is away from the motorcycle. This cover provides protection for the seat and security for the riding gear.


SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION

The present invention relates to a motorcycle seat cover system that includes: a cover adapted to cover a motorcycle seat; a seat insert; and a rear extension, wherein the rear extension extends beyond a rear portion of the motorcycle seat. The cover is made of a flexible material and a storage compartment within the motorcycle seat adapted to store the cover during non-use.
