So which part am I wasting my money on by treating with leather conditioner?

Only the saddlebags and the sides of the rider seat are leather, everything else is vinyl.

pinch the seat in different spots, the leather part will not stretch as you pinch it. Try not to use leather conditioner on leather. just clean it with water. leather conditioner, oils, or leather soaps will clog the pours and lead to the premature breakdown of the leather.
