If the bike is under the 2yr warranty and it is the stock seat, should be. If it is an added HD accessory seat that was added and installed by dealer within 60 days of bike purchase, should be.

I have had 2 seats replaced on warranty. They both had holes in them. One caused by rubbing on the corner of the dash. It was replaced under warranty because the dash was not aligned properly. The other one had a 'rip' in the seat. They replaced it because they said the leather was noticeably very thin, so it was 'inferior material'.

During the warranty period 100% of the bike is warrantied against "defects".

If some one breaks something by dropping or like manner, that is not a defect.
