What a great find this site has been. Does anyone have a suggestion for care of the saddle. Should it be cleaned/conditioned, and if so what would be the best application?

Listen to this guy. I tried once to make pretty bike... Armor All'd everything..
Long hard 5 miles home.
Feet slipped of pegs, slid off seat, could not hang on grips...
Looked good though. Looked darn good...

I keep a small plastic bag under seat to keep 'stuff' off my seat. My seat still nice and clean. 4000 miles, never washed..

On the wife's car I use Murphy's oil soap on the leather interior.. No slip and protects it..
