About five years ago Stuart sold a number of these in small women's sizes on eBay. IIRC they were all advertised as horsehide, but I'm not 100 % sure. He told me they were made from "leftover" hides for the Japanese market and that they didn't reflect more recent LW quality. I bought one for my girlfriend and we liked it a lot, only resold it b/c it wasn't the right size. The leather had a very nice texture and smell and was certainly more hard-wearing and rugged than supposedly high quality stuff like Schott's naked cowhide.
Yes, I love the leather. I kept it because of this reason. However, I have way too many jackets and do not ride the road king as much as I used to. Thanks for sharing!
Wanted to respond to my LW Speed demon trade with a forum member here. Class act person. Will trade this member anytime!
Thanks to the forum and it's members!
