I can imagine that, they are dirty already just from putting them on. But I don't want them to look sparkling new, I want them to look as if they were 60 years old. You now dirty, greasy and dried out. And they will be easy to replace at a low cost anyway. But you're right, ordering several pairs at a time seems like a good idea otherwise.
I test fitted the seat today and wasn't very impressed with the look. I think I'm gonna scrap the spring seat after all and go for a VN800 specific aftermarket solo seat. Anyone interested in an almost new Ultima solo seat and a pair of seat springs?
