Default SEATS: Badlander vs LaPera Daytona Sport

Anyone have a HD Badlander or a LaPera Daytona Sport SOLO ??? What's your opinion on one of these or other favorite low profile seat --- I"m looking to buy one for shorter rides.
Thanks,
GymChamp

Well, I see no replies, so I'll offer my two cents. It may not be apples to apples, but it will be close, I suppose. I can offer a comparison of Badlander vs LePera King Cobra (or whatever it's called). I can tell you there's no comparison, and this is on my Deuce. Both seats are the 2-up models. Badlander doesn't even fit right over the fender. The LePera looks awesome, and for the type of seat, it is STILL more comfortable than the Badlander.

I have the Daytona two up (sorry not the solo) and my wife and I love it. The quality is second to none. Metal seat base, nice soft carpet under the the seat to keep things from scratching. I can ride for hours on mine with no worries.

Is it a touring seat HELL NO but you can do a tank of gas with no issue.

My stock seat is a Badlander and it's not bad as stock seats go, and never had any complaints from my passengers...I'm not familiar with the Daytona solo, but I've been running the LePera Silhoutte with gel as my solo for a couple of years now, and I give it high marks...looks great, and I've done 300 to 400 + mile days a number of times with no problem...
