Default Heritage Leather Bag Cleaning

Any recomendations for cleaning / conditioning the saddle bags for a Heritage Classic?

Every few months, use the Harley leather conditioner. In between times, use McGuiers leather spray which cleans, conditions and protects.

Oldgeezer, do you know if the McGuier's (sp) leather spray is better than the Pledge? It probably is, in that all their products are top notch.

Just bought some Meguiars leather conditioner spray. It also comes in a squeeze bottle. Used it and really like it.

I just wash mine off when I am washing the bike, then when it is dry I use the Harley leather conditioner, rub it in, buff it off, bags look great! This winter I sprung $119 for the "Got Saggy Bags" setup, and it sure makes a difference in appearance without all the sagging! Kind of awkward to install, but they work.
