I have a Fat Bob that I want to put a solo seat on. I was leaning toward the Lepera Silhouette, but I saw an 09 Street Bob today and liked the looks of the seat. I know neither is a long distance plush pillow, but can anyone tell me which is more comfortable? Does one sit farther back or lower?

Thanks!

 

I had the stock 07 bob seat on my fxdc,it was ok but i wanted the lapera barebones,so i sold my bob solo to a buddy. I like the lapera alot better and would never change back. The bob seat is a little more comfy,the ;apera sits you a hair lower and a hair back further,another reason why i bought the barebones. The Silhouette looks pretty much the same as the BB.

 

I love how low the Le Pera BB seat is and the riding position is perfect. The comfort of the padding sucks after about 70 miles though. Damn shame as it's the best looking seat out there for the Dynas I think.

 

my seat looks awesome and I can ride for hours and hundreds of miles ...never feel sore or any worse than driving a navigator all day... Mustang tripper solo.

 

I just sent back a LePera Bare Bones. It sat a 'little' lower but not much. It was definately less comfortable and it made the shocks stand out more than was visually appealing (to me anyway). I'll stick with the stock seat.

 

I've also got a Mustang vintage solo seat and it is very comfortable but it sits me up higher and doesn't look quite as good as the Le Pera BB. It's not ugly but just not as good looking.

 

The Lepera BB sits just a little further back and lower, as for comfort im sure the stock SB seat is a little more comfy. I just bought the BB and love it, My stock seat has 51 Miles on it and am selling it...PM me if your interested.

 

LePera BB is the third seat I have had on my bike. I like the firmer feel and I can go longer without getting a sore ***. I found with the cushy seats my *** started to sweat and it would burn after a while. Not so with LePera BB. It is hard though so be aware.

 

For looks, I would choose the LePera BB but it's not built for comfort, at least not for my body. I didn't find the OEM FXDB seat uncomfortable but the Corbin Hollywood Solo is much more comfortable and looks good too.

 

sillowette ROCKS! that is what i roll with, love the extra bump that keeps you on the seat when you are pounding on the throttle
