My 03 FLHTCI came with the ugly water retaining pillow with buttons seat . I looked at Corbin and other quality replacement seats but wanted something unique .

Where I live (desert Southwest), a lot materials get kinda dried out and eaten up. If the guy making the seat can assure you that it's durable, then go for it.
I guess these gators live a pretty rough life, so you're probably okay.
