I read somewhere that on the SE model, there is a roll out seat raincover rolled up in a pouch at the back of the seat, so I thought, (only having the Aspencade), "I Want One".
It's amazing what you can do with a pair of unwanted thin waterproof overtrouses, a bit of elastic, 2 bra hooks a sewing machine and 8 WEEKS OF LOCKDOWN!!!.
The pouch in the back of the seat has some sort of plastic clip, that took me about 1/2 an hour to find out how to undo it, impossible to do with the seat on, having opened it, I remove the sponge in a plastic bag.
I then picked the stitches and removed the plastic clip thing, then proceeded to sew a zip in it's place.
I then cut the trousers across the crutch seam, one half was enough, after squaring it up I hemmed the cut edges by folding and pressing with a hot iron which stuck by melting the ruberised lining.
Finally here's a video of the finished project

I wanted this because I have an "Airhawk" seat cushion, takes 10 seconds to get soaked and 2 hours to dry out.

Re: GL1500 seat rain cover
Nice job.
Of course the rain always starts when you are away from your bike, and didn't put the cover on.
