Tank cradle on the new one was miles away from the original but £70

I think there’s £20 of paint been added as well
Not to bad of a job tbh wasn’t looking forward to that on my back but my strapping 20year old son was a big help and always a reason to buy new gear a shiny tool

Over the weekend I fitted me replacement leather seats. While they were out on my bench I gave them a clean and leather treatment. I used Chemical Guys cleaner and leather conditioner. I didn't rate the cleaner very highly rubbing it on via a micro fibre cloth and gently scrubbing some spots. The leather conditioner was applied in a similar way. I wrapped the seats in placstic and left then for a hour then gave them a final wipe over to make sure they were ready to go. Can't say that the leather softened up any and in fact it feels rather like I've sprayed and wiped on Armoural - the seats feel fairly slippery under me.

What are others' recommendations on leather treatments on here?

The driving position is a bit different too - a bit higher and it feels like I'm a tad more further away from the steering wheel / pedals.
