Leather pants freaking me out

I finally got some HJC leather pants to match my jacket, They seem to be very nice quality.
I went for my first ride with them today. They feel good, first curve, got ready to slide over on the seat, no slide butt stuck like glue. This is going to take some getting use to. Also got some Oxtar Matrix boots w/gore-tex I really like em.
Got all my gear from Newenough.com those are some good guys. Highly recommended.

Yep leather pants stick to the seat. Baby powder or Honda Polish on the seat works well too. I find the leathers stick more just after conditioning. As the pants wear in they will slide more.

Yup, I noticed the same thing when I got my riding suit. You have to make more of an effort to change your butt's position. No more sliding.

You'll get used to it.

How about some pics?

I used some leather conditioner (I know the seat is not leather) from Meguiars (sp?) on my seat and it leaves a slick shine. My leather suit moves freely now. Congrats on the completion of your skin protection.

Thanks for the recommendations I'll give them a try.
One other thing I noticed is that my boot must be bigger than my shoes. I'm gonna need to adjust my shift lever. looks simple loosen and lengthen.
I'll take some pic's tomorrow jacket red black & white every thing else is black looks kinda cool.
