^ yeah I figured that much with a post count of 3 on my behalf. The same process applies. Vinyl is very weak, over time the sun kills it. This slows it down significantly, but the best thing to do with these vinyl seats is to do this process every oil change or so, and keep the seats out of the sun/harsh climate conditions. ^ Doing those will make the seat last as long as the bike does in my expeience.

Thats what I use at the track, "getting off the seat" and sliding around on it has never been easier.  :thumb:
but yeah I agree, for street driving armor all and other vinyl shines can be a gong show. That and waxing the tank.  :icon_confused:
