| MotoGP Contender Joined: Jul 2007 From: Camas, Washington I Ride: 05 zx12r | Need a good butt lube... ...ha, thought that would get your attention.   Really though, my damn leathers keep getting grippy on my (corbin) seat... making it akward to slide side to side.  I don't want to armorall the seat, cuz I've seen that cause the leather to crak over time... Any ideas to make the seat a little more slippery? |

E to W. Try a bit of baby powder????? FREE and clean, Ripp'n |

| Superbiker Joined: Mar 2007 From: Greenacres Washington I Ride: 1991 Honda CBR1000f | DoubleD uses a good leather cleaner on our Corbin that seems to work for him, I know it makes it a bit slippery for me.... Its called leather lotion I picked it up at Wilsons leather, but I'm sure any leather shop would have something similar....MrsD |

I Armor All both my seat and the ass of my leathers for track days and race weekends. As far as cracking goes, you just need to make sure you continue good leather care. I use Obenaufs for all my leathers. I've also used Dryer Sheets for slicking it all up. | |

| MotoGP Champion Joined: Sep 2005 From: Bremerton I Ride: 03 Are See fiddy one, 05 DRZ400SM, 95 FZR1040, 69 Combat Commando Roadster, 73 Commando Interstate, 67 BSA B44, 71 BSA B50 | Same problem I was also thinking about a better seat for my tard but all the seats I've seen have mo stickie seat coverings. Might need to go talk to Riches. Someone told me a little while ago to use Plexus. Worked great for a couple of rides. |

| MotoGP Champion | I use Armor All on my saddle from time to time so I can slide my butt across it in leather. Haven't noticed any deleterious effects on the leather, though. |

| Zone Head Joined: Sep 2007 From: 2nd star to the right and straight on 'til morning I Ride: on ice at 15F below zero | I actually like the traction for heavy braking... I lift out of the saddle with my legs and slide across from side to side when leaning the bike into turns. I have seen some guys put stomp-grip on the seat to help keep them from crushing their nuts on the tank... |

| Pit Crew Joined: Oct 2007 From: Beaver-opolis, OR (originally Boston) I Ride: because I can't not ride. | Pledge wax. FTW. I use it for everything, including helmet visors (works better than Plexus, hands down), bodywork, etc., as well as for this exact problem. I've tried baby powder/talcum/corn starch for this, but it looks ghey when the seat & leathers are all white, plus there is a very noticeable and perfectly butt-shaped print on the seat...

Are you saying that any time the words "butt" and "lube" are used in a sentence it belongs in the Portland section?? If so I'm on board with that...  | |

How cool is that? Baby powder is good although Monkey Butt powder does somewhat better and is a great product. Man,,,,,, Portland is anal lube central....... | |
