I think brown would look good, It will add some contrast.

They are both cool so you won't go wrong either way. I'd probably go with the brown. If you don't like it you can always get some black leather dye.

Contrast would make it stand out alright. Dark or light brown?

Dark brown..The dye is a good idea if I don't like it, never though of that..The low pro is the one I'm looking at..Ahhh choices! The black one is pretty sweet it has silver sticthing which I have never seen before.

I'm not a fan of the color mixing.

I dont know how well you would be able to dye a brown seat black.First off most of the seats are not leather.Second it would be hard to fix all of that black dye so that it would not rub off..

Count me in the brown group. I like the look of the brown leather. Plus you get the added benefit of the uniqueness. Not a lot of bikes out there with the brown leather.
