Default Stock Comfort stitch seat - leather or not?

I can't tell if the stock comfort stitch on my 07 Ultra is leather or not, thinking not.
Want to apply some treatment to it, clean it up. I have some stuff for leather, just not sure if I need to use it on the seat or not.
If it's not leather, what are you guys using on yours?

Thanks,
joe

i just used leather care products on mine and it worked great. it probably is leather, just not from a cow. maybe a water buffalo, elephant or rabid musk ox since they are probably cheaper for MOCO to buy. seriously, i like the quality of the seat and the leather care produts made for cars worked just great.

just changed to a leather Road Zeppelin which came with the official HD leather cleaning stuff that is likely way overpriced to replace.

It is not leather, it is vinyl.

On my first bike I had the stock seat add Pro Pads and cover it with real leather. The pro pads were confortable and the real leather looked great.
