The velour on the "B" was just starting to wear through after 120,000 miles, so I had the driver section reupholstered when I sold the bike.
Hey 1951, I've heard that Velour fades on the Russells. Any experience with that? They sure do look good with it, though.

I've wondered about those sheepskins. Scale of 1-10, how much do they help on a scorching day?
