    Leather seat repair

    My bike has a leather aftermarket (Mustang) seat with a small ~ 1/4 rip in it. I see a lot of products advertised but I also see a lot of bad reviews on them too, any suggestions/recommendations/experiences on how to repair this?

    five asses because it's far superior to having just four!
    Yes, I watched too much South Park!

    Did you check with Mustang? Maybe they offer a repair service.

          I just called them and spoke to Kim in sales. She laughed at how old the seat was and requested I send her a picture. She also questioned if it was leather or vinyl ....... I'll guess I'll double check ..... anybody know an easy test to do this?

            easiest way to check for real leather is light a match and stick it in while it is still lighting up. if it is not leather you will need a new one.

            not sure if you want to go with the easy test

              Turns out after looking at the back of the seat cover material that it is vinyl. It should be an easy fix with a repair kit from the parts store.
