About to by a C&C Seat Leather or Vinyl?
I'm about to order a C & C Sport Tour for my 08 FXD, and was wanting to know if anybody had a honest preference to leather or vinyl and if anybody had pics of both. I have had both myself and really can tell a difference as far as the supposed cooling effect. Which is really the only advantage I have read about. Just looking for some opinions/experence here. I know ultimately its my *** on the seat . I just like doing my research on a big purchase like this for me in these times of tight wallets.
Thanks

Mine is leather. I would go vinyl next time as the leather can look like cellulite dimples. They have a really good leather grained vinyl that is perfect IMHO. If you need a place to order, we have them on our site with free shipping as well.

I'm about ready to buy a C&C fastback for my '10 FXDC and have been mulling around leather vs. vinyl. I think because after its left out in the sun for a few thousand miles leather will eventually discolor, get worn spots, possibly crack in the long run. I've seen a few do that. I know you have to keep up with maintenance a lot more. Vinyl is easyer to care for and shouldnt get hard if you forget or put off cleaning/conditioning it.
Ok, ok.......so I'm a lazy guy when it comes to the seat.
P.S. I did take a ride up there from San Diego to check out their operation. Looks like they make a quality product and are very helpful.

I would say it is a personal choice but IMHO I would go vinyl for ease of care and durability. It seems that leather needs more upkeep and more importantly can't withstand the elements as well. Vinyl is easier to maintain and will last longer. Remember in the long run it's your backside on the seat. Good luck!
