I'm not a fan of brown leather on any color, but that's just me. Put what you want on it and I'd venture a guess that nobody will care. After all, it's your bike and you should put what you want on it.

the bike has maroon ghost striping. You can just see it in the picture if you stare long enough.

I think brown looks great on black bikes providing its a darker brown.

Please don't do that to your motorcycle unless maybe it is a custom bobber with some other balancing attributes.

Hey thanks for all of the responses! It is really interesting to hear everyone's opinions on the topic! Well, except for the "do what you want, it's your bike" replies, which are worthless. Obviously if I already knew what I was going to choose, I wouldn't have posted this thread and solicited opinions! So yea, when I figure out what I want, I'll do it!

Oh, and all of the pics of the bikes with the brown leathers are great! Keep 'em coming!

Brown leather looks good on any bike as long as all the leather items are brown. I'd like to get a Western style tooled leather saddle for my 2007 UC if the stock seat ever needed replacing. Problem is the original seat is so darn comfortable and wears like iron it'll probably last until I no longer ride.
