Was gonna ask this question in the SEEG section.
But since this threads here,
What is the seat made out of on the 05 SEEG?
Is it leather or is some kind of whoop-de-do material that really is just plastic?
I was going to leather treat mine but figured I would find out first.

Hey Chip, If it's like the other Harley seats that claim to be leather, only the part you sit on is leather, the other is something (vinel?) else!   Har!  [smiley=shocked2.gif]  spyder

Jimp, I've spent almost that long cleaning/detailing my scooter at one time.  Nite-Al has also.  And I'm venturing a guess that OTIS has also.  So, you're not the only 'sick-boy' admitting to this afliction!  Har!   [smiley=sick2.gif] spyder

Chip, it's described in the "Features" section of the SEEG section of the CVO section (that a lot of sections) of the Harley Davidson website.  There (in the section) it's described as follows:

"custom leather seat with perforated seating surface"

But Don tell us the real truth.
Is it real leather?


"custom leather seat with perforated seating surface"


Being the suspious lot that we are give us the truth.


You know
It's the difference between leather dressing and Armour All


[smiley=oops.gif]just remembered
Mine has no perforated surfaces, [smiley=confused5.gif]at least I don't remember any!

Well Chip, let's see what we can figure out.  With the super secret decoder ring leather testing method and a bit of sniff-test, coupled with normal honesty in advertising, but discounting Harley's predilection toward... well.... let's just say hyperbole the answer comes out to be.....   Who Knows !!   [smiley=7.gif]

Actually I don't have mine anymore. Traded the original awhile back for an old aluminum 409 Chevy intake manifold that I'd been coveting. But I remember when looking it over when the bike was new and being surprised that it actually was leather.  I really don't remember if different panels were something else.  But it was at least mostly leather.  I'd not be concerned about using a leather dressing on it.

The 2004's came with a bag of H-D leather dressing in the saddlebag.  From what I remember about mine (been awhile since I looked at it), it was 100% leather.  I really have no clue on the '05s.

Bingo!!!!!!!!!!

103T hit it on the head!

I got that same leather dressing with mine, but the seat just didn't look like leather.

But as Don said, I'm gonna apply it anyway.

If it screws up I can just trade it for some headers for a 409 and send to Two!

You'll be able to tell from underneath the next time you have the seat off.  Leather will be rough on the opposite side, more like a seude (sp?).  Vinyl will have about the same surface on each side.

Another way to determine if it's leather is park the SEEG (with the leather seat) beside a bike with a Mustang seat in the direct sun and with a little while and then touch both seats.........you'll notice the SEEG seat is decidedly cooler to the touch.  This is known as the 'touch-test' in some areas of the deep South!  Har!   [smiley=drink.gif]  spyder

My bike has never really gotten dirty. I have washed it three times since Febuary. I still have not waxed it yet. When I was in Daytona I used some special soap that helps neautarlize the salt from the beach breeze. In Houston Texas chrome wont last long if you dont stay on it. That includes removing the dead bugs that stay stuck to the chrome and using lots of chrome polish. I use 0000 steel wool to get spots off the exhaust. For a quick detail I use that Honda spray detailer. It works great. When I was a kid my bikes stayed spotless. Now adays I would rather ride then wrench or clean.

Jimp,
Sounds like we got a lot in common. I ride mines but also like it to look like it just came off the showroom floor. When I got back from Laconia, first thing I did after unpacking the bike was wash/detail it. The bike was filthy after getting caught in rain several times on trip, and wife's comment was "You'll never get that bike clean like it was". You know that was all the incentive/challenge any red-blooded male would need to get the job done  [smiley=laugh.gif]. Well after getting out my motorcycle jack, bag-r-rests (speaking of which if any of you have never seen these or familiar with them they are great for taking bags off bike for washing/detailing. go here: http://www.hangemhighcycleproducts.com). After washing it several times and then detailing I believe I was at it for three + hours, anyway by the time the better half got back home needless to say she was impressed. Matter of fact she commented that it may have even looked better then before the trip.

What I Use:
Zip Wax Car Wash
Harley-Davidson Wheel Cleaner
Bike Brite Cleaner/Degreaser
Gunk (On the trouble spot between the motor and transmission that shows that seepage/film of oil. Where I've been told there is no gasket, becuase there is not supposed to be anything in there to leak out [smiley=confused.gif])
Leaf Blower (For majority of water removal)
Bike Dryer (Small hand held device similar to leaf blower, but has a rubber nozzle. Best for tight spaces and when you want to be careful around painted surfaces)
Absorber
Old T-Shirts (great for getting water spots off chrome)
Mothers Chrome Polish
Easy-Off Paste Wax
Black Magic Tire Dressing (Then spray tires with window cleaner after to aid in drying. A friend gave me this tip, the ammonia will evoporate the tire dressing to keep it from being thrown back on fenders. I do wipe all excess off, and avoid getting tire dressing on wheels and treads)

I also wipe bike down (with Absorber) after each ride to remove bugs, and use a California Duster (small dash one) to keep the dust film to minimum.

Nothing like being at stop lights and feel someone checking your bike out.  [smiley=7.gif] Especially when it's a couple and you look in the females eyes and you can tell she would rather be on the bike with you with her hair in the wind.  [smiley=huepfenjump3.gif]

They are a great investment for detailing bike, hard to wash the bags and hold them when they are soapy and wet. I found out the hard way [smiley=cry2.gif] Below you will find a picture of them.

You need to talk to naitram and Mrs.We.  They will convince you you're saving money on these because your decision to purchase them was based on a review that someone here gave you and you didn't have to waste your own money trying to find another product that delivered the results you wanted.  (Or something like that.)

I have yet to test this logic on my wife who will be the sole determiner of whether or not it is sound. [smiley=argue.gif] [smiley=deal2.gif] [smiley=rifle.gif] [smiley=smash.gif] [smiley=stars.gif] [smiley=whip.gif] [smiley=sauer024.gif]

Even though they aren't likely going to be as pretty we don't have to spend 60 or 80 or a 100 bucks for a lot of these admittedly handy to have gadgets.  

I'd had a wall bracket that I'd won as a door prize at a rally that mounted the old tour pak on the last Road King.  But the 05 had a different mounting spacing.  A replacement to purchase was 70 to 90 bucks.  And I was going to need two of them !!

An hour in the shop with $25.00 in materials made both of these.  They may not be as pretty but they're every bit as functional.

I try and use the Tool tactic.  Whenever I buy a new tool, that the wife knows about [;)], I always make a point of showing her how it helped me complete the job correctly and efficiently.  I always add "The right tool helps you do the job Right" Line.  Then, when in Sears Tool Territory (always enter the mall through tis entrance), and I see a new Tool that I NEED, I make sure I remind her of the above.

Unfortunately, my Harley Budget is going to my new 4-wheeled version...an Eclipse 8495 DVD Navigation MP3 with 30Gig Hard Drive ain't cheap!

The with of the tour pak rack is such that you can mount the 2x4 can be 16" apart so you can catch a stud on both sides.   These are similar to pieces mounted on another wall that I don't have pictures of on this computer that hold the saddlebags as the items under recent discussion here do.  Those were simple to throw together also though and only cost about $20.00 for the material for a pair.  

They're just 2x4 in a T mounting.  Bar stock out from the lateral part of the T with a bend on the ends to support the bags via their mounting holes.  Another piece of 2x4 perpendicular to the leg of the T with it's end covered in a couple thickness of glued on scrap vinyl is what the lower part of the side of the bag rests again.  The bar stock I covered with heat shrink tube and put a vacuum nipple plug over each end.  To hold the bar stock to the 2x4 I just drilled and tapped the end of each one and put a screw through the backside of the 2x4 to hold them in place.

So for less than $50.00 and about an hour and 45 minutes time both tour paks and both bags can be up on the wall for cleaning, maintenance, storage or whatever.

Twolane,

Now I know the first project for my new 12" sliding compound miter saw with lasertrac!  I can save $100 dollars for the $500 the saw cost plus material!

/Bill


It's sure an easy one Bill.  The only measurement that is at all precise or tricky is the distance between the pieces of bar stock.  That has to be just right for the detachable rack to set down.  Whenever you get to it drop me a note back and I'll measure these for you (don't remember now what the measurement was).

Thanks, but probably different for the '04....plus, upgrades will be necessary...Chromed Roundbar to start...I am starting to see the savings evaporate!

This is kind of like telling the wife "this bike has everything" when I talked her into getting it (she knew I would still be spending money on it). Now I keep hearing about the $24K Diamond ring she wants [smiley=shocked2.gif] [smiley=nervous.gif]


hd-dude, Do you think offering to buy her a SEEG would work instead of the ring. It is a little more money than the diamond, but you could save money by knowing what works and what doesn't from your current bike accesorizing experience.  When my husband started hinting about a diamond ring for our 20th wedding anniversary , I told him I'd prefer the key ring to a bike like his.  

If he could go back now, I wonder if he'd get me that diamond. haaaaa haaaa haaaa.

Yeap, I believe the rack changed from 04 to 05.  So the spacing your B&B would be different.

Too funny....I would love to have her ride but we have a 4yr old at home that she does not like to leave behind. I've had my bike since October and she has yet to go for a ride on it [smiley=cry2.gif].  I think at this stage in our life she'd like the ring more. Maybe for our 20th she'll get a bike?

OK, so before I buy this.....what do you guys think? The price sure is right, but I don't see any mounting on the top, just in the saddle bag support indent on the bottom of the bags....it looks like it just rests on the stand. Umm... no sure I like that. Any thoughts?

From what I can see in the picture...the bag rests against the center post of the stand. Right on the edge of the lid! I'm not too thrilled about that. The stand would need to be modified to allow the bag to rest against the stand in the lower concave part with some sort of a rubber no-slip NO-SCRATCH material. Cool idea....needs to be modifed though.

http://www.pig-glow.com/

You guys need to check this stuff out.  I've talked with the owner of company, he's a nuclear chemist by trade, biker at heart.  He would be an awesome teacher because he's able to take complex science and put it in words we can understand.  This Pig Glow cleaner / wax- polish is some of the easiest stuff I've ever used and the results speak for themselves.

If I understand the story correctly (I'm telling this second hand so I would need to verify before I stood behind it) but the Lincoln Navigator is made near KC.  They were having a problem with getting the black ones  to look nice.  A biker who was using the fledging prodcut - Pig Glo - and had a black bike suggested they give it a shot.  It cleaned up the black and gave Linoln the finish they were looking for.

I don't know if the above is true, but I do know that everyone I've turned on to this product loves it and keeps using it.  I just got a couple bottles of their new leather cleaner.  I tested it on the CUSE and am going to try it on the wifes Lexus with the tan leather.  

If you want to try a product that may actually be technologically superior & produces a great finish you need to try this stuff.

Pig Glow, The bottles look cool. I'm gonna try it for $hits & giggles.

As for the 24K Ring...I never skimp on the wife.

She deserved every penny I spent on her new 2006 Harley Davidson F150!

Michael, try the Pig Spit (by Rolling Thunder).....IF you have a black engine.  It's the best I've found for a black wrinkle finish engine .... to keep it very black when they start to fade.  :) spyder

 [smiley=xyxthumbs.gif] Gotta thank those that mentioned the Hog Pig Snot.  Went to hose the bikes down yesterday ---------- WAAAAAAAAAAAAAY Overdue, and found that I did not have enough cleaner.  Sent Jamey off to the HD Shop.  But he realized that rather than run 6 miles he could go one and stopped at the Victory Shop and got some Hog Snot instead.  Let me just say that I am so glad he did.  It is superior to the S100 and so less caustic on my hands and left a just waxed feel and look to the bikes.  OK, finally warmed up enough we are going to take these cleaned up bikes out for a ride.   ;)

Candy, was it Hog Snot or Pig Snot?   Don't have it handy where I'm setting right now but I think the product that Sumax recommended in a flyer with the returned heads and cylinders after powder coating was something called Pig Snot.  Described it being the best product to maintain the shine and appearance on the engine parts after all their work was done.  I could have the names confused though.

Pretty sure it's "Pig Snot" when you Google either "Hog Snot" or "Pig Snot" it returns "Pig Snot" products.

All this talk makes me feel like my nose is running or I need to go look in the mirror to make sure I don't have something stuck on/hanging out my nose. [smiley=nervous.gif] :o [smiley=nixweiss.gif] :D

Got to order some Pig Snot, Hog Snot, D00d Booger or whatever it is anyway.  Since it's Sumax's recommended product to keep the pretty parts looking good getting some has been on the to-do list for awhile now.  Just keep forgetting to get it done.

Spyder, the sheet they sent was referening cleaning of the surfaces.  It cited a Pig Snot Surface Cleaner, not a wax.  It described it as something that would/could be sprayed on and in the fins and other engine surfaces and then washed off.

That's just good mental health time! [smiley=xyxthumbs.gif]
And......you can pull it out in the direct sunshine and it still looks clean.  :) But, you dread to get caught on a wet road after that.  :( har!  spyder

Candy, was it Hog Snot or Pig Snot?   Don't have it handy where I'm setting right now but I think the product that Sumax recommended in a flyer with the returned heads and cylinders after powder coating was something called Pig Snot.  Described it being the best product to maintain the shine and appearance on the engine parts after all their work was done.  I could have the names confused though.  

You are right - it is Pig Snot.  Some pretty impressive stuff.  I am one of those kind of people who buys the same brand products forever. It is hard to get me to shift once I am on a track.  Just because I needed cleaning product and my normal stuff was not available I tried this Pig Snot stuff.  Really did a bang up job on two extremely nasty piggies.  We were both impressed at the end.  The ride was good too.  ;-)
