Check out the cover I made for my KH saddle, bright eh?
I skinned a cat, cut the fur to size, folded it under the bumper/handle, and then sewed a loop onto the sides and put a drawstring through.
It holds on firmly, and even stood up to a night of trying to learn wheel-walking and kick-up mounts at the juggling club last night.
The valve cap is just bits of cat stuck to a big light up valve cap that doesn’t work anymore.
Do youse like it?

Congratulations Tom - that’s probably the most disturbing modification I have seen on a unicycle… and reading this group that’s saying something. What do you feed your cat?
Nice one!
I feed him electricity and nuclear waste.
He seems to like it. Or did anyway.

Very cool lookin, but I’d prefer if you didn’t skin a cat any more, It can hurt alot…
Youre right it can hurt, damn thing scratched me to bits while I was skinning it, maybe I should’ve killed it first…
Nah, its not really a cat. Just some wild fur from a fabric shop.
Glad you all like it tho.
I’m quite proud of the fact that RedWelly said “that’s probably the most disturbing modification I have seen on a unicycle ”
I was gonna cover the whole uni in fur but stopped at the saddle n valve cap!!
Surely someone has a modification more disturbing than this?
T.
you should do one in green
That’s awesome! Well done.
You have no idea how much I love that.
It looks exactly like my slippers.
Will you make me one?
That’s a…erm…striking get up. Nice one.
I’ve got a leapord skin Muni in the making…leapord skin seat cover and paint job…mmmmm. I’ve got a mate who paints stuff for a job. He’s a good chap to know!

Furry saddle cover
Cheers everyone!
It is comfy, a light pair of trews or shorts and its lovely. I’d imagine that it’d get a bit sweaty on a long run tho.
If anyone wants me to make them one I will (for a small fee, of course) but it really wasn’t that hard to make!
Cheers again!

what’s “a small fee” gonna be?
So that’s pretty hilarious.

I’d definetly order one, if you can make it in Yellow, or Black.
even if you can’t maybe you could make a miyata cover too? nothing would be cooler than a Fuzzy flamin’ uni.
If you were to ride this in Moab, you’d have a bad case of the butt sweats.
But (Butt?), that seat would come in real handy for this ride .
Cool seat, it look a bit like a fuzzy bird head.

a small fee will be:
Enough to cover the cost of the fur (the bit I bought was the smallest the shop sold and is enough for 3 covers and cost £6)
The shop sells all kinds of fur, all colours, short and long fur. £6 will be the most any bit will cost.
The cost of delivery to wherever,
And £5 for my time and thread.
If anyone seriously wants one, PM me.
Cheers again folks!
