vinyl or leather ??
RE: vinyl or leather ??
I love my leather seat. Armour All makes a great leather cleaner. It's just like baby wipes in a container. Just rip one out and wipe your seat down.

Leather - Pats right - wears better and breathes MUCH better - I wouldn't wanna be sitting on a vynl seat in the summer for any long peroid of time. Theres no cons when compared to vynl.

There is one thing with leather - it soaks up water in the rain. A previous leather seat I had became stained when it dried out, so use a lot of leather protection. Also, if you use Armour-all, just remember that the seat gets rather slipperey until you have sat on it for a while.

The only thing I hated about owning a leather seat was if it got wet and if some @$$hole was going to steal it off my softail.
I love the feel and texture of leather. Feels nice, looks nice.

Wife and I have leather seats. They are more comfortable because they breath, they look better, and if taken care of they last longer.
We have ridden in rain, snow, and blazing heat. Keep the leather treated with any good leather conditioner and it will last a long time.
I had a Corbin leather seat on my 95 Roadking that had about 80,000 miles on it. It still looked good and was in good shape when I sold the bike.

Bill
