: This is going to sound kinda lame and i'm getting way to picky, but
: has anyone come across a nice cockpit cover other than the
: standard NRS covers? I'm looking for something with a bit more
: aesthetic than the standard black.

Actually I prefer the cheapy Seals vinyl cockpit cover, easy to put on' waterproof and stays put on the road and yes it's black.

I've got one that's also black and nylon and it's a pain in the butt to put on, slides around and pulls off the coaming just before you get it all the way on. Once on it's fine though, also black :)

It's a transport and storage cover, don't care what it looks like, care how it works.

Someone somewhere once had a wood strip cover that looked really cool, but I have no idea who came up with it or where I saw it, nor do I remember how it attached but might be worth hunting for.
