LePera Villian
#12
I have two bikes; one for buzzing around town, the other for distance traveling. My around town bike is all about style, not so much about comfort. While the other one is all comfort. So if you're looking for style, LePera is not a bad choice. If you're looking for comfort, LePera may not be the best choice.

Says the guy on the mini road sofa. I have a barebones on my deuce and have no problem getting around on it all day. Of course, some one calling a person a poser because they're modifying their bike the way they want must be jealous and too broke to afford to do much of anything to their stock POS. Just sayin'.

I have a Corbin and a LePera and like them both. I guess different asses have different comfort levels.
The thing I like about LePera is they will send you a seat without the cover to try out. There is a charge for this but I think it's better that buying a seat and not liking it.

Well I bought a bare bones off eBay and it's just as well it didn't fit because I was surprised how incredibly hard that thing was. I had to double check that it had any padding at all. With the rough roads around here I can't imagine it's good for much more than photo shoots.

Yup. What Dickey said. Though after a few weeks my Silhouette solo was much more comfortable than when I first put it on.

I've had 2 LePera 2-up Silhouette Delux seats. The one with the leather rider & passenger area is sooo much more comfortable than the viny, different as night & day. Of course it cost more, but well worth it IMO. I will never get another vinyl seat.

I have a Silhouette. It is years old and well broken in. It is comfortable enough. No issues on short trips or day long trips, and no issues on 4-5 day away trips of hard riding either. I'm sure the rubber mounts on the bike help, along with the 3.5 gallon tank that encourages me to stop frequently enough to save my behind.
Overall, looks great, comfortable enough, though I can see why sofa riders would not be impressed. To each their own.
