I actually sell sno-seal...no, I'm kidding! Amazon.com carries it. I first used it a million years ago as a kid when LL Bean used to give it to you free with their boots...back when companies used to care about their customers.

I am going to try the other products mentioned. First though I am going to try Mink Oil from Walley World. The Fat Back that Harley sales to put on the bags is greasy and collects dust fast.

I will stick with Dubbin nourishes the leather and waterproofs

If your bags are faded and lack color use this

Speaking of Armor All, I personallythink it makes excellent drain cleaner. Get my drift.

My Heritage SBs are still new. Yes they are leather. I gooped as much of the Harley brand wax on as I could. After a week it all soaked in - no need to wipe it off. So I'm thinking of putting another coat on.

A friend, in addition to using the Harley wax, also uses black shoe polish to fill in scratches and blemishes on the leather surface.

I also use Lexol and it is very good. I also use Doc Bailey's Leather Black.

When I looked at the treatment that Harley provided with the bags on my 08 my first impression was 'Hmmmmm that looks just like Sno-Seal'. So I got out my can of Sno-Seal to compare them..... Sure look the same, both in the can and when applied. I've been using Sno-Seal for years..... Good Stuff. Don't know what the Stealer charges for the Harley stuff but my last can of Sno-Seal is marked $3.99 and will do my bags for a year or two at least.

To those who use mink oil, before you switch to something like the HD or Sno-Seal you should ckeck with someone who really know leather care. I believe I remember from a long time ago that the use of these two products were exclsuive of each other.
