Leather OR Vinyl?
What does HD use on their seats, leather or vinyl? I guess I'm as guilty as anybody in putting leather treatment on my bags and seat, just don't know IF the seat is actually leather. Anyone??

Try Aerospace 303 Protectant for vinyl and rubber. Works great.

Vinyl and it's real thin. My sundowner has a bunch of holes in it and one large tear.

Yep...vinyl, but doesn't hurt to use leather care products on it. I have/use JD's tub of jelly & it keeps seat sofy/plyable...

For "a bunch of holes" and "one large tear", I'd take it down the local auto or marine upholsterer and let them re-cover it.

The 'Brawler', 'Sidekick' and 'Rallyrunner' all come in leather. "Premium cowhide" is how they advertise them in the catalogue.
