HD/stock seat isn't leather so...use the HD seat conditioner and you're good.

That's the worst part about being retired. If you don't have anything to do, how do you know when your done ?

Don't use mink oil on the seat you have as It will void the warranty. What you need to use is the HD brand Nauga oil.

Most Harley seats aren't leather. Had a buddy ArmorAll his seat once, he didn't make it very far before he had to pull over and rub some dirt on it to keep his *** from sliding off haha!

As long as your wife doesn't know you have nothing in particular to do, if she finds out I'm sure she'll come up with a list of things.
I find that staying out of sight works or if you do have to walk by her have something in your hand like a crescent wrench or a 2x4 so it looks like you're busy.
