West Marine/Boat US and other suppliers generally carry tiller covers. Measure before you buy as some are narrower and not as long as the R22 Tiller. I did have a "saddle" made up to cover the stock section that fits into the rudder. A local canvas shop made that up for me from a paper pattern that I made up. It fit over the back of the rudder/tiller stock and was attached with snaps just forward of the rudder. I think I may have a picture of it, I'll check in the next day or so.
