Depends on the year of the CVO. The last year that CVO seats were all leather is 2007. in 2008 the CVO seats had some leather but the entire cover wasn't leather, just the sitting areas and every year since they have used less and less leather on them. Its kind of funny because we got a brand new CVO seat sent to us, it had a tag on it stating the seat cover was leather but there wasn't any leather used on the cover at all.

All natural bear grease for leather, to put it in simple terms, if it can keep a bears *** from getting chapped through a harsh Canadian winter guess what it can do for your seat or any other piece of leather.
