Slidey Corbin.

[Den]

Does anyone with a corbin leather faced seat, find it slidey.
Or has someone polished it maybe ?
Corbin dual sports? ADV seat.

I put the brakes on reasonably hard. Louise slides into me, I just about slide onto the tank. Ive put the top box on to stop her disappearing off the back.

I treated it with leather conditioner/cleaner yesterday, but havnt got round to trying it again, but it still feels slidey.

Anybody else have this prob, or are we just tooooooo slick.

Cordura trews & Corbin = Slide/Slippery

Leather trews & Corbin = No Slide

Take yer pick, Den

Mine's not a leather Corbin, but vinyl and does the same

Bought mine 2nd hand and the fella polished it to make it look good, but it was well slippy, done about 8000 miles on it now and it seems fine, I only wear cordora "trews" so does the wife, it maybe makes you ride a bit more smoothly!! I wouldnt go back to wearing leather just to stop the slip, I now sit more back in the well of the seat which took a bit of getting used to, it is the standard GS seat not the ADV.

Leather doesn't seem to slide on the seat so I use bike trousers with a leather bum

I've got the 'weave' pattern on mine. No sliding, but your arse looks like ots been in a waffling iron after about 20 mins

Less of that you, it's a damn fine idea I subscribe to myself

Den, try giving it a light scrub with one of those abrasive-backed washing up sponges. I've used them with good results before now
