Lexol works really well and is easy to find but the best stuff I have found is Aussie Leather Conditioner. Just a note though, if you are using it on the seat pictured in your signature you are wasting money because that seat cover is vinyl

Industry standard. I don't know of any stock seats of any brand that use leather!

Part of my '05 OEM seat has leather strip between rider/passenger portion...


To answer the question, I use Pledge on my seat. Guess my *** is too fat, creating enormous contact patch between *** and seat that doesn't allow slippage. Or, could it just be the amount of body weight forcing down on the seat? Either way, I don't slide around on my ***!

That's possible - I haven't paid them any attention yet.

Just get the "vinyl grease" HD sells...works well and keeps seat from cracking/splitting.
