Love the looks of them and they are plenty comfortable for 200 to 300 mile days.

The seating postion is very good and cant beat the price.

I had a barebones on my evo sporty and liked it (sorry no pics) nice lines and really quite comfortable considering its low profile. I've ridden up to 400 miles in a day on it with no problems - the only issue is the "lip" on the back was quite stiff and if you tend to sit back towards the rear of the seat as I do it can sorta dig into your tailbone after a while.

I'm currently running an C&C LoPro Solo on my dyna and it looks killer really suits the lines of the bike, price is reasonable and good service from C&C. Quite comfortable; I recommend it over the bare bones for comfort as well as style.

oh - don't get me wrong - I really liked the bare bones and I did ride it all day every day for years; just the one issue with the lip at the back which was easily remedied by shifitn forward a little when it got annoying. I'm just sayin that I prefer the C&C....little more padding and the lines look a bit better IMHO....to each his own.

I'm a cheap *** so I built my own out of a stock seat and $30 piece of buffalo hide.

Don't know how some of you guys can go 300 miles on it. I can but not without stopping every 60 to 70 or hour whichever comes first. The thing is, it's totally comfortable for that first hour and then, bang - damn my **** is gettin numb. Stop and stand up and walk around for 4 or 5 minutes and then back on the road for another hour. Lepera doesn't market this seat as a touring seat. It's definitely for looks and barhopping but mine stays on my bike 95% of the time and I go most everywhere I'm going on it. I rarely need or want to ride more than an hour at a clip anyway. I like how low it gets me "into the bike" and I love the look of it. Even my wife calls it my "sexy seat". When I put my tallboy on for her to ride, the difference is significant. Changes my whole center of gravity and I can't see a dang thing in my mirrors without adjusting them. I don't have a problem with the back lip of the seat. One of the things I love about the seat is the ability to move back and forth and still feel comfortable.

+1 on looks, Longer rides are ok as long as I make a few stops in between. I have put close to 300 miles on it one time and it kicked my a$$. But I took looks over comfort plus if I go long distances more than 200 miles or so I would put the stock seat back on.

Well people are different. I can go a long time on the stock seat while others complain it sucks.
Different strokes for different asses.
The farthest one day ride I have done with the barebones on is about 250 miles. There is another Ironbutt saddlesore 1000 ride coming up next year I plan on attending and you can be certain I won't be doing it on my barebones seat.
