Scuffed Seat.....????

Well apparently I am getting lazy and dragging my boots across my seat. Does anyone have any secret tips on how to remove scuff marks from your seat??

I have done a search and some people say mineral oil or shaving cream but neither seeing to be helping...

Thanks

You could try the Harley Rejunvenator Treatment, part #98839-09 it lists for 6.95, I think I paid about 6.50 with tax at my dealer for it.

Don't worry about it. It just shows character and that it's a well ridden scooter!

I have used Doc Bailey's first then followed up with some Turtle Wax interior care. If it is really scuffed just let it stay as added character to the seat.

My experience with the scuffed vinyl is the same. I haven't found anything that works and I've tried most everything. Good luck.

I used to do that too until I started getting on and off from the right side.

has this caused a loss of gas mileage or a speed wobble? perhaps you could drop a grand or so and lower your bike. spend more time sitting on that seat on the road and less time spit-shining your bike. a good coating of road grime will take your mind off the seat scuffs.
