Bought some Skidmores conditioner and water proofing, this stuff is awesome! I wish I would have taken a before picture of my corbin seat. This stuff could be used on any leather product.

Looks great, but I hope it does not make the seat slippery.  Last thing you want is to be sliding off the seat while riding.  I had a friend in Calgary who put some leather conditioner on his Harley seat and he darn near fell off the bike as soon as he tried to accelerate briskly from the stoplight near his house.

I started doing this a few years ago on my Corbin, just once or twice a year. Definitely not slippery. If it did make the saddle slippery there would have been a lot more mangled cowboys back in the day. :tongue:
