Murse,

I am almost afraid to ask what my seats look like. The last time someone saw them at a show, they looked like they had been ridden for a year or so.

I can not figure why they don't keep a few seat for shows....and switch out used seats for new ones. A couple years ago, I was embarassed at how my seats looked at the Cincinnati V-Twin show, so I went home and brought a half dozen seats down and hung them in the SPS booth....

Go figure.

Thanks for taking a look at the seat.

Looks fantastic, Dave! Don't worry what the seats look like after they've been on the road for awhile. That's why you make them so they can be ridden hard and put up wet. I've seen a few of the seats I made for local bikes and they're holding up quite well and the ones I run on my bike look good. I tell people to put some Aussie stuff on it once in a while, or I can do it for them, but not too much. I want them to be able to give them good hard use. Weathered leather looks great! I know a local women rider who has a leather seat, not from me, that gets wet when it rains and she says it comes with the territory. She puts a lot of miles on her bike and the weathered seat looks cool. Sorry if I'm rambling .

Bustedlifter,

I like for my seats to remain good looking. I've told the guys at the bike shop how to care for them but they don't listen... very discouraging

I think I have about 20-25 hours in this one.

Thanks for checking it out

Dave,I'll bet your seats are still good looking even after a lot of time and miles! Kind of like the way a quality saddle looks after being exposed to the elements and hard use.

Hey Busted,

The seats are holding up fine, they withstand a lot of severe sun exposure in AZ. But, it sure doesn't hurt to clean them every once in a while. When you clean and aussie condition one of my seats that is a couple years old, the patina that it has acquired from hard use is beautiful. Kind of like an old saddle or old gun leather. Even black seats that have the black dye starting to wear through to a dark brown are really beautiful when cleaned and maintained.

There is nothing like the look of hard used well maintained leather seats.

Thanks your kind words on my seats... it is appreciated.
