You don't want leather...you want a durable, weather resistant material that looks like leather. If you are going to carry your bike, I recommend a roll-up style cover. This way you are not playing around with supports and such when it comes time to pull back the cover and load the bike. Check out: www.pace-edwards.com and www.accesscover.com. Both companies make excellent products. Good luck.

Here is a question to ask yourself. If you buy a factory cover and break a part of it, can you purchase that little part seperate? How much do replacement covers cost if yours is ripped?
I have had people come into my store complaining they can't get a replacement parts for their "factory" tonneau covers and the price on a new cover is around $400.

I have just recently change from the Harley Davidson Tonneau to the factory Lightning Tonneau thanks to JDM and I think it came out pretty good.

I just got my L but I really like the factory cover. Its easy and practical since you can install it and remove it in less than 5 minutes. I have those little metal bars on there too but I don't know if I like them very much since they kind of stick up, but they do keep the tonneau nice and stretched out and tight. But for the price I would just go with the factory cover.
