Default White seat?
The lapera barebones with diamond stitching and white details has caught my eye but im curious. Wouldnt the white be stained blue halfway through the first ride in jeans? Is there something in the material to prevent that or something to apply to it? Overthinking things again?

If your farts are going thru your pants, you have a bigger problem.

not unless your jeans are currently staining the upholstery in your vehicle and home.
Mine don't, or I'd never be able to sit on my wife's sofa

Wear white pants. But then there is the previously mentioned fart issue along with the dreaded shart.

If I could get that seat for my 97 Softail Springer I would be all over it! I'm sure regular cleaning and treatment would keep it looking good.

Believe white seats used to be commonplace on vintage Harleys.



A recent Electra Glide model paid homage to it...



Imagine they all survived blue jeans just fine.
