WASH A SPORTSTER???? WHY??? You're supposed to ride not wash. When mine goes in for service the dealer cleans it because they don't want anyone to see one so dirty, that is enough for me.

Lets see, I've owned my Sportster for 2.5 years; I've washed it once; I guess that averages out to about once every 2.5 years whether it needs it or not.

RE: How often do you wash
I only wash my bike when I can't stand to look at it anymore. This equates to about every three months or so. I'd rather ride it and let the mobile car wash ( rain) take care of the cleaning.

Wash, wax, and polish a couple times a week. Makes for some good down time after a long ride on the back deck with the hose, bucket, bike, and a couple Oberons. [sm=icon_guiness.gif]
Please note: washing does NOT have hiarchy over riding though!!

You would be better to put vinyl conditioner on if you have a stock seat, it's not leather it's hide of the wild nauga.
