Can't say I've noticed that, though the one on my 06 did get white mildew grow on it if I put it away damp (despite having the leather treatment on). Washed off though.

I don't think it was mildew on mine, but during my first trip to Kansas in June, I noticed the stitching turning gray.  The bike was washed twice during that jaunt, and after the last wash.......it was really noticeable.  When I got home, I washed it again, dried it, and applied more Glare Leather/Vinyl Protectant.  Good as new.

Sounds like it might have been - mine was worst around the seams.

You're right about it being all leather, but it's so thin the stitches pull like vinyl, and I'm not very heavy.

Got my seat replaced yesterday at no cost due to the pre-mature wear. 

Had to break it in today with a hundred miles or so in high 90's heat during a 9-11 poker run held by the local Red Knights MC (firefighters).
