I remember reading that somewhere. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

grepin Member 109 Member For: 17y 8m 20d Posted 17/03/07 09:28 PM Author Share Posted 17/03/07 09:28 PM No worries thanks for the replies.I was only wondering what to hit up with the Leather cleaner.Little annoying not having a foot rest. Have had a couple of Autos in the past and they are usefull. May just put one in.Probably on another forum and will look but what leather gear are people using?

I've got sports leather and it doesn't have it there? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

About 15 inches by six (odd shape).Oh yeah & congrats on your purchase!!Let us all know how the mods go!!
