Hi, I have a 1990 K100LT with a white(ish) saddle. I need to clean it, but I am not sure how to do it or what chemicals to use.  Suggestions and advices welcomed.


Br, Sigurd

This is good

Not sure what you call it but the container should do. I use a small scrubbing brush

Wait for rain. Go for a ride.

But seriously, what material is the cover?

Every OE K series seat I've ever seen the cover is just normal automotive upholstery vinyl, nothing more exotic.
