Default Wide Glide seat question

I like the look of the Le Pera bare bones solo seat. I can't seem to find one with "biker gel" for my '97 Wide Glide. Does anyone know if Le Pera makes a Bare Bones seat w/gel for a '97 FXDWG?

If they don't you could always buy the seat and gel separate and then put them together.

Speaking from experience, biker gel or not, looks is probably the only thing you'll like about that seat.

Either way, an email to LePera is probably your best bet for the correct answer.

Check sick saddles out. I think he can do a gel seat. It's made to order won't be as fast. There's a thread with pics on the dyna page. I have a non gel seat and I'm pretty happy with it. I wanted a bare bones originally.

I looked at their stuff.......nice!! I might go for the looks of the Bare Bones seat though. I live on a small island. If I want to take a long ride, I can put the Mustang two-up seat, or even the original big-*** seat on.

I do have an email in to Le Pera. Waiting to see what they say.

Thanks for the helpful replies! I'm having the new Wild One Chubby Low Profile drag bars put on this weekend. I'll post photos when it's all done......

I always find it amusing when someone says they are done with their bike.
It never fails that there will always be something else to change in the future!!!

I'll second the "a*s-hatchet" metaphor for the Bare Bones. I have a beautiful one that is absolute torture on my Springer. It stays on the shelf. No rear support (feels like I want to slip off the back when I get on the gas), and I get monkey butt after only 15 minutes on it. The stock and the Corbin are much more comfy. My .02
