All leather with gel in the drivers seating area. My only complaints were minor, and the biggest was that the label had been sewn to the side of the seat after I had asked for it to be excluded. I had hoped that the purpose of excluding the label would not offend the craftsmen in the LePera establishment, but rather contribute to my goal of achieving clean and uninterrupted lines on my bike. Apparently I'm not the first customer to make this request, and that added to my surprise when I saw it. Secondly, one of the two bolt-holes for the mounting bracket was full of some kind of adhesive that was obviously not supposed to be there. It took me about an hour to pick it all out with some dental tools and thread the mounting bolt in there. Also, one of the bolts should have been a little bit longer. I had to exclude using the provided washer because I couldn't get the bolt to bite.

The stitching looks fantastic, and the communication with LePera was very professional. Let me know what you think?.... JR

EDIT; Hmmmmmm, I didn't se the Badlander listed, my apologies, maybe it will work with the dash panel.

I have the same dash panel and was wondering what seat I could get to replace the stocker. Thanks for answering my question before it was asked. I have another one though. Did you tell them what dash panel you had and they did the seat to fit or what did you tell them? Thanks in advance.

I like it...Bike looks great. Just a tad bit more chrome (frt lowers, rear sprocket cover and lower belt guard) and you'd have an award winning show bike! Nice job!
