Leathers vs Seat advice

[UnluckyTimmeh]

Hi all,

It's a really stupid problem to have but I can't stop sliding around on the seats while in my RST 1 piece.

I thought it was just my bike, but it does it on all the demos at work and the Ducati 959 I tried the other day.

The arse on my leathers isn't shiny or anything but is there anything I can treat them with to help?
I was wondering about having some sort of alcantara or similar patched shaped and stitched in. But I'm sure there must be a simpler solution (apart from sliding down the road on my arse to rough them up )

Thanks in advance

Stomp grip on the tank and grip it with your knees.

Or retrim the seat in a grippier fabric.

I've got stomp grip on the tank on my 750 and it does make much better, but I struggle on the other bikes.

Are they new leathers ? They tend to do this.

Also I've found cleaning them causes the same issue in the past, now I just don't clean my arse or put any products on my seat other than shampoo.

Yeah fairly new worn a handful of times. I actually used the dash mat stuff on my seat which worked (now using stomp grips) but for all the bikes I ride at/for work, they're the ones causing the issue
