Default leather or vinyl
I'm thinking about purchases a brawler seat for my 07 Fatboy, I see they have it invinyl now, is it worth the extra $100.00 for the leather?

I went with leather when I bought my seat from C&C. Just a personal preference I guess.

I think I would go with the leather, just for durability. If you take care of the leather with theconditioner that is included with the seat, over timeI thinkthe leather seat will appear to be in better shape than the vinyl.
