Brown Leather is associated with WWII aviation...Mostly Bomber Pilots from the AAC and Navy Air Crews....Screw what others think!

It doesn't matter how you turned your leather brown. You don't have to share anything you don't want to.

But warm water and saddle soap will get it back to its original color again.

There are those who have respect for the past who have served this nation and others who enjoy on the merits of those that did...Pretty self-explanatory!

holy hell, to all the haters, this is a forum. I was never trying to get an approval. Just wondering what people here, that have an opinion worth sharing, thought of brown leather, you dont see it worn very much. Its the same as what do you like better, apes or straightbars, its just a question.

And if you really think the question is about a fashion show, turn your bike back to stock, ride it how it was made and stop trying to pretty it up, cmon folks, its just a simple question.

Don't forget, opinions can run pretty deep....Nothing personal, but definitely based upon opinion!!!!

Here's my wifes bike with a brown seat. She likes it, I'm OK with it. Oh, and her jacket is black.
