Default Alternative to Bare Bones

Have a LePera Bare Bones seat on my Street Bob. It looks great but I can't take more than about 90 minutes of riding till it starts to really hurt. Anyone have a suggestion for a good looking, comfortable seat?

I have a Lepera and know what you mean. I keep it on for around town and daily riding. If I'm doing serious miles like I hid this weekend, then I use a mustang vintage solo. I can ride all day with this seat.

I ditched my bare bones seat for the same reason. Looked great, but not very comfortable. I replaced it with a Saddlemen Heels Down seat. looks great, fits the frame perfectly and it has back support. I can ride all day now with No complaints.

There's a C&C solo that I've heard is more comfy and almost the same profile as the BB. I've got the LePera Silhouette...almost as skinny as the BB, but I've put down 200 miles on it in one go. It's not comfy at all by that point, but I'm not saddlesore either.

You have pictures of that seat on your bike? I've just noticed those on ebay recently and it doesn't show it on a bike.

I have a Mustang WV Solo with backrest and only take it off when my wife goes with and then the stock seat w/pillion goes on. Maybe stop after 60 mins. for a cold one and then continue.....
