I would just email Corbin and ask them. ________________________________ From: imfreelandian To: DSN_KLR650@yahoogroups.com Sent: Fri, May 6, 2011 2:06:17 PM Subject: [DSN_KLR650] NKLR- Armorall Antidote?

Alternatively: Wash the seat with a warm, soapy mixture of water & dish detergent (Dawn?). That'll take the Armorall off and shouldn't hurt the seat. You'll have to exteriment with what to retreat the seat with to protect it without making it slippery again. -eddie

Depends on the Corbin you have. Some are all Leather, some all Vinyl and some, most actually, are a combination with the seat being leather and the sides being vinyl. If you read their web site the reason will become apparent. I would recommend either saddle soap or boot cleaner on the leather and anything you want on the vinyl. You want the silicone off the leather but you don't want to strip it dry. The leather must still put up with being outdoors with the UV and risk of wet weather. Corbin makes a cleaner that seems pretty close to Justin Boots boot cleaner. Both served my corbin well for years Chris

Corbin used to sell a leather conditioner made by Mothers. http://www.mothers.com/02_products/06312.html This is available from finer motorcycle shops.
