Stop Slippery Seat Syndrome!
When I got my Corbin leather seat for the ST1050 I thought it would be a good idea to use Nikwax leather cleaner and then Nikwax leather conditioner on it - just like I do regularly with my leathers.
Bad move, it became VERY VERY slippery, I slid back when accelerating, forward when braking, back and forward when I hit a bump and as I could not get a grip on the seat with my backside or thighs it was putting a lot of stress and weight on my arms.
It really made my rides most un-enjoyable....
I found this stuff on T'InterWeb - Grand Prix Leather Gloss - the very nice lady who makes it primarily supplies it for horse riding tack but it can be used to protect any leather.
It protects and nourishes the leather - leaves it with a semi shiny finish but it's not slippery...
www.grandprixleathergloss.co.uk
I put it on the seat of my leathers and my leather Corbin seat and it's great - a good grip but still just right to move when I WANT to.
I can thoroughly recommend it.
PS it smells good too!
