Here's something that works on saddles, so why not a motorcycle seat? Mix Tan Kote with a little paste antique. The less antique, the lighter the color. That seals the leather and colors it at the same time, accenting your carving. When you want to add oil, wash it with saddle soap to remove the Tan Kote, ad oil, then replace the Tan Kote. The color should not be changed.

This doesn't work on yaks.
