Thanks for the compliments. Right back at yah =)
I have the Bare Bones. I love the slammmmmmed look as well.

When I was deciding between solo seatsmy decisionboiled down to the Lepera Bare Bones, theC&C low pro, and the HD Brawler seat, all of them looked good to me, and honestly that was my main concern with regard to a seat.

I never assumed that any of them would be comfort pillows.

Like ED,I rarely ride for more than an hour any given time.

Just an fyi on my experience with regard to extended rides and the comfort factor.
For all I know after 2-3 hoursof non stop riding I may want to burn it, if you know what I mean.

After all is said and done, I am completely pleased with the look, build quality, andcomfort/look quotientof the seat.

Good luck on the decision.

Cheers,

Tom

 

Here is a good shot of it

 

I had the Mustange Vintage solo for a while. While I could ride for a while and not get sore, it never felt "right". Seemed that it was perching me way up and felt like I was riding "on it" rather than "in it". Could be due to my height. The Mustang does not move you back.

The unfortunate thing about seats and exhausts is that you just never know until you've shelled out the $. Once I accepted this fact - I realized I'm just going to take my lumps reselling on ebay if I don't like something. I think I'm at a combo that works, but the seat is not a solo.

 

I LOVE my H-D Brawler solo seat! A little pricey, but worth every penny IMO! Fits the contour of the bike perfectly (not too slim & not too bulky) & very comfortable. I rode on this seat for almost 3 hours non-stop once to Conneticut from MA & I was fine. The back "lip" does feel as though it pushes you forward just a bit, but nothing major or that's going to take away from your overall ridin' position comfort. Recommended 110%!

I just got an email from Allen at Mean City. Apparently he's shortstaffed and backlogged but, for $90, he can make mine a slimmed down version with memory foam and he can slide me back 1.25 to 1.5". I may go with that.

FXDC, I remember when you got your Brawler. It looks good and I'm sure it's comfortable but I was a bit worried too about it pushing me forward. The Leperas look like they might let me slide back in the saddle when I want but, I can have my seat customized with memory foam for half the price of a barebones so I think I'm going to give it a shot.

 

Greg, I'm glad you posed this question. I think when I'm home I'm going to look into having my Brawler Solo modified. I love how it looks on my bike, but it pushes me too far forward and I end up sitting on the rear lip of the seat.

You have a solo seat now..... Whats wrong with what you have?

 

Another vote for the Lepera - I also have the pillion pad. Great quality and pretty good comfort. I've put on 150 miles in a day with no problems.
