I have a Corbin Gunfighter seat. It is a bit slippery, and since I am not needing to slide around to drag a knee, I was wondering someone knew of a treatment that would make it a bit tacky.

Most leather conditioners make them more slippery.

Maybe rub lightly with a Rosin bag? (If I had one I would try it)

Any other ideas?

GREAT question!
I don't mind so much myself but took the Mrs out for first time today & it was a pain in the butt (literally!) when she kept sliding up to me and psuhing me up against the tank!
So I too would like to see some ideas on this one ......

Post Script!
Co-incidentally when looking for something else on EBay I came across this anti-slip cover for the pillion seat. Cheap enough, I went ahead & bought it. At least it should help resolve my passenger concern.

DON'T use any product with silicone. Suntan lotion works good.

Never thought of applying suntan lotion where the sun don't shine! :razz:

Not tried this its just an idea, but what about surf board wax as this is designed to help your feet grip the board?

I would think that a leather conditioner would help to add moisture and grip to the leather....

How ironic. I've been considering replacing my speedmaster's vinyl with leather to ADD some slipperiness ! The stock cover is sticky and in warm to hot weather your a$$ sticks to it and causes soreness. May have to try some armorall. Then again i don't want to slide off the bike at stop lights. :-D

My advice is to clean the seat, rather than use a treatment/product on it. The build-up of sweat contains skin oils that make the leather or vinyl slipperier (more slippery?).

I clean my seat with a home-made mix; I just use a mist and a clean rag. You might give up a little shine but it won't be as slippery.

I've put a thin swipe of rubber cement into the soles of high heels so my foot doesn't slide down into the toe... rubs right off to remove it. Haven't tried on a seat, but I can't imagine it would do anything permanent to leather and you can rub it with your finger to remove it.
