Default Leather or Nauga?
Is the seat on my 07RK Classic real leather?

The bags are leather covered but I'm betting several cute little Naugas gave up their precious little lives for the seat.

HD claims it's leather, besides that do you know how many nauga's they'd have to kill to make one seat?

About 80 of the common Black Naugas.

Unless the Road King Classic seat for '07 is new and different from other years, it is both leather and vinyl. The basketweave part is leather. Everything else is vinyl. Take the seat off and have a look. I'm sure on the the bottom, you will be able to see the white fuzzy backing of the vinyl.

HD uses the rare south florida nauga's that shed their skin annually for these seats.This is to prevent from havingPETA complaints.

Ride safe,
