Abstract: A device for protecting a motorcycle seat which includes a retractable cover which can be extended to shield the surface of the seat from exposure, thereby preventing deterioration of the seat. The cover is retracted into a housing which can fit snugly underneath the bottom of the seat or can alternatively be mounted to the frame of the motorcycle directly adjacent the lower edge of the seat. When in extended position, the cover can be secured by means of a hook and loop type fastener or by means of a post and hole fastening mechanism. The cover is made of a material which is both waterproof and heat resistant. The housing provides a spring biased wind-up mechanism for easy retraction of the cover and to provide tension to the cover when in extended position thereby aiding in keeping the cover snugly fitted to the seat.
