    Don't think there is any "reasoning" other than appearance....? I mean if you are wearing thick denim/leathers... would you feel the softness of the velour?

    I don't have experience with one, however it is possible that it has a secondary effect ….
    Moisture wicking … your sweat has a place to go and the air will dry it out instead of having a sweaty rear end during a long and hot summer day. Hence some owners stating that the seat stays cool.

    On a vinyl seat ….. between your skin and seat, you only have your pants to absorb the moisture




    Successful people build each other up. They motivate, inspire and push each other. Unsuccessful people just hate, blame and complain.

    I ordered a Hartco seat and rider backrest, now just waiting for it to come.
    Hope all works out.

    How much $$$ are these running? Bought a Mustang and I'm quite happy with it...maybe after a few more rides, however it seems a lot stiffer than the Mustang on my VTX ever was.

    I received my Hartco seat and installed it a couple of days ago.

    The seat is beautifully made top quality and looks great on my bike.

    I have not had a chance to put many miles on it, but did do about 150 miles so far. This seat is very comfortable right from the start.

    I did have to get used to the back rest since i never had one before. After a few miles i think it will be great, it does give me support for my old back.

    Seat gives me a better reach to the bars good for my back.

    My wife hasn't had a chance to ride as of yet, hoping that she is as happy as i am.

    You could not find a better man to talk with and deal with than Mark. He, his co. and his quality of work are all top notch.

    As for price they are not cheap but are custom made for each person.

    You can spray the Velour with Scotch Gard and it will be waterproof.
