GT Seat Leather or Vinyl?

The newer Harleys (I had the 2019 fatbob) had seat covers identical to the triumph (unrelated - fatbob seat was slight more plush and comfier)
Maybe the older ones had real leather seating surfaces?

My '22 Street Bob 114's seating surface was leather. Both my '24 Rocket and '23 Tiger came with vinyl seats.
 
The seat will most probably be made out of PU Leather, which isn't leather at all, just looks similar & is allowed to be called leather, although it should say 'PU leather' often the 'PU' is missed for some reason . . .

The Triumph Bobber TFC certainly has a genuine leather seat cover, but I have my doubts that the Rocket 3 TFC has a leather cover.
The seat is definitely different to the stock seat due to the badge inlay detail, but other than that, from what i've seen, the seat covering looks and feels the same as stock.

Happy to be proved wrong, though. I'm not certain that it's not genuine leather, but it's not obvious when you see one for real.
(Just making my comment. No offence meant).

Hmm.....
Well.....there could some truth in Martynbradley's statement.
I've just stumbled across a photo of one with a seat cover on it.......could mean it's needed for protection...
