Good talking to you today about the differences and the assistance in helping to choose the right one.
With leather, Iβm aware there are different grades/qualities.
Is there a fundamental difference in leather used for interior furniture, automobile seats, or motorcycle saddles? Itβs an interesting topic.
Amazing video. Thank you
Leather on my back, vinyl on the seat.
My bike came with a Corbin leather seat so I went back with leather. It was in perfect condition black but I wanted a Tan leather seat.
