Exposure to Moisture
If leather is exposed to moisture, wipe down the leather products and allow them to dry naturally. Prolonged exposure may allow for water penetration at stitched seams, requiring more time for the product to fully dry. Do not attempt to accelerate the drying process by using heat. Heating the leather will remove the natural oils and cause it to dry out and crack. Whenever possible, take steps to protect the leather from exposure to moisture.
NOTICE
The leather used on INDIAN motorcycles is an all-natural
product; exposure to moisture will result in structural changes to
the material, causing permanent damage. Regular usage of INDIAN MOTORCYCLE
Leather Care Dressing will help prevent this type of damage.
