Dirty seats

[CheckpointChcky]

I am just noticing that our seats are not leather but rather fabric covered. As a result, any time I hit it with my boots while getting on leaves dirt scuffs. They don't brush off easily either.

Stop hitting it with your boots while getting on.

I am short legged and often do the same..Getting better at pulling my leg higher and grabbing my pant leg to help get boot across seat...BTW, there is a product made by Mothers called "Back to Black" that works good..Also, a small dab of "Kiwi" black shoe polish works great to cover the scuffs.......

I never do the leg swing over.On its center stand or kickstand I step up on the bike like the cops do

The seats are not "fabric" but a substitute for Naugahyde.

Since Naugas are now an endangered species they can no longer be hunted for their hidea.

Use Pledge or any automotive cleaner product to spiffy the seat covers and protect them from water and scuff marks.

Stand up straight on the peg and reach higher with your foot.

This is what I'm currently using on all non-painted surfaces including the seat:

I believe it was originally intended for aircraft applications, thus the name "Cockpit". It cleans and protects the surface and I especially like that it doesn't leave a shiny or oily finish. I also use it on my cars, particularly on the dash areas. It's really great stuff!

I've also used 303 Aerospace Protectant which has greater UV protection and may be even better for applications exposed to the environment. Here is some info on that product:

I do that myself often, but the scuffs come off with a clean damp rag. With practice I'm doing it a lot less.

My mistake, I thought this thread was referring to when cars unexpectedly turn left in front of you.
