Saddlebag cleaning and care
Clean the saddlebag on each side us-
ing a high-quality saddle soap. Rub the
surface of the soap using a damp cloth
or sponge to produce a lather, and then
apply it to the surface of the saddle-
bags. Allow the lather to dry, and then
polish the saddlebags with a soft cloth.
If the saddlebags have been exposed
ECA10950
to severe weather conditions and have
become faded, or been scuffed, use a
fine boot creme to return the leather to
its original rich, even color.
Exposure to the elements can dry out
the leather over time. Therefore, an oc-
casional application of a good quality
mink oil is recommended to restore the
leather and lift its water resistance.
Make sure that the saddlebags are
clean and dry before applying the mink
oil. Using a soft cloth or a dauber, work
a thin coat of mink oil into the leather
surface of the saddlebags. Wipe off any
excess oil immediately and allow the
saddlebags to dry for several hours.
