I have over 8000 km on my B17. I used some commercial lambs fat oil stuff at first because I couldnt find anything else here. Now I use proofide, about every 3 months.

Just the saddle when I ride, I have a plastic bag stuffed under the seat for when it gets caught out in the rain, but my bike lives inside overnight, and in a stairwell during the day, so it doesnt see a lot of rain when I am not riding.
