New rider backrest
« on: January 31, 2010, 05:45:03 PM »

I just installed a new rider backrest on my 2001 SERG. The install went well but after I installed it I noticed a mark on the right side arm rest. It looks like a material defect. It is not real noticable but it just bugs me.

A lot of them come that way.  I did the same thing on my '05 E-Glide.  When I opened the box, the leather has some "imperfections" in it.  I took it back and they told me that it was "normal" and that was that.  I think Harley calls it "character".  Imagiine that!

I figured it wasn't work sending it back now that is on. I will put some Armor all on it. Thanks

YOU'LL PROBABLY BE THE ONLY ONE WHO NOTICES IT, BUT IF YOU'RE LIKE ME, YOU'LL BE THINKING ABOUT IT WHEN YOU'RE TRYING TO SLEEP AT NIGHT!!

Get a bottle of Doc Bailey's Leather Black.  Works great!

I agree, Doc Bailey's is great, you will never see another imperfection once you put it on, great for leather tour packs, saddlebags, anything leather.
