Now that I've had it for a year, The seat still looks new. I keep Chamberlains Leather Milk on them. The smuggler still is good except for where the lid closes there are some wear spots where it has rubbed the paint off. The Fleetwood bags are another story. They seem to be wearing out fast. one bolt snapped and I had to replace it. the other side worked loose and the vibration has damaged the fiberglass. The paint job was not very good. Make sure all the bolts stay tight and keep locktite on them.
