Default opinion on seat stitching.

i dropped my seat off this afternoon at the upholstery shop.

gonna have diamond stitching done on the middle section of my le pera.



i told the guy to do it up in red, but now i'm thinking i might want white stitching.

Once white gets dirty it a well looks dirty..Something to think about with stitching the seat is if it rains and you get water sitting you can have a wet *** once it soaks the padding ..

Wet *** if it gets left out during a shower ... oh well ...

Personally I think red would look pretty color with any contrasting color bike.
Hopefully the guys that picked your 3rd choice were just busting on you. LOL!

Stitching = a Wet ***! White is hard to keep clean and gets dirty easily. Go with Red.
