Im really happy I found this channel and surprised by how good the quality is. I'm starting to get into riding bikes more seriously and taking care of them. I just got my own 2002 Victory v92c running today after a while, and then I found this channel and I can't wait to see what else you guys post here
Obviously this is something you do at the end of the riding season or a month before riding season starts . For Mold and mildew I find applying rubbing alcohol or 50/50 water vinegar and let dry before applying other conditioning products . Not sure I like the idea of using a pressure washer though .
one big problem with harley road king classic leather saddle bags is that they are easily scratched. even an accidental scape of a fingernail can leave a visible scratch mark. any advise on getting ride of scratches? thanks
someone had suggested the following but we have not personally attempted any of these tips. Some scrapes and scratches are more minor than others and can easily be fixed with items you already have in your house. For smaller scratches, start by using a cotton swab or cotton ball dipped in distilled water. Gently rub the cotton swab over the scratch until it is no longer visible. If the scratch is still visible, try using a white pencil eraser. Rub the eraser over the scratch until it disappears. If these two methods do not work, purchase some liquid shoe polish that matches the color of your bag. Apply a small amount of shoe polish to the scratch with a cotton swab and rub it in until the scratch disappears. Wipe off any excess shoe polish with a clean cloth. Fixing Deep Scratches If the scratch is deeper, you will need to use leather repair kits that can be found at most craft stores. These kits come with various color options so that you can choose one that closely resembles the color of your bag. Start by cleaning the area around the scratch with a cotton swab dipped in rubbing alcohol. This will help remove any dirt or debris so that the repair kit can better adhere to the bag. Once the area is clean, follow the instructions on the repair kit to fill in the scratch. These kits usually come with a small tube of glue and directions on how much glue to use based on the scratch size. Allow plenty of time for the glue to dry completely before using your bag again. Learn how to keep your leather bag from cracking.
Thanks for the quick response, I appreciate your feedback!

What about the inside of the bags 😮
This will fix the LIFTING corners also. ?
Great video! Thank you for the tutorial!! Will this conditioner with wax work that well on a cowhide riding jacket?
Hi, It depends allot on the quality of the leather and the condition of the jacket.
Access?

Hello did you condition the leather inside the saddlebags
Hello, no we didn’t do the inside of the bag as it is not smooth like the outer sides. Let us know how yours turns out.
Some wd 40 words wonders.

Very irresponsible biker. Bike comes first. Then the club then the old lady
You put a club before your wife?
