NOTICE
Do not use bleach or detergents containing bleach on saddlebags, seats, tank panels or painted surfaces. Doing so can result in equipment damage. (00229a)
Do not use ordinary soap to clean leather or fur. It could dry or remove the oils from the leather.
Leather, vinyl and other synthetic surfaces must be periodically cleaned and treated to maintain its appearance and extend its life. Clean and treat these surfaces once a season or more frequently under adverse conditions.
These surfaces are not designed for long-term exposure to inclement weather. Protect these surfaces with a Harley-Davidson Seat Rain Cover or Motorcycle Storage Cover (sold separately).
  1. Vacuum or blow dust off surface.
  2. Thoroughly clean surfaces with SEAT, SADDLEBAG & TRIM CLEANER, following directions on the bottle.
  3. Allow the material to dry naturally and completely at room temperature before applying other products to the material. Do not use artificial means to dry the material quickly.
  4. For leather only, rejuvenate faded black surfaces with BLACK LEATHER REJUVENATOR, and apply LEATHER PROTECTANT to weatherproof and preserve the leather.
NOTE
Many Harley-Davidson accessories and seats are made of either treated or untreated leather or have leather inserts. Natural materials age differently and require different care than man-made materials. Seat covers and panels made of leather gain "character", such as wrinkles, with age. Leather is porous and organic. Each leather product settles into its own distinct form with use. Your leather product matures into its own custom shape and style from the sun, rain and time. This maturing is natural and enhances the custom quality of your Harley-Davidson motorcycle.
