Is that a trick question?!
He wants a seat that is comfortable but he is not willing to sacrifice looks. He still wants his bike to be slim and sleek without a bulky touring seat. He wants a solo seat that makes his bike look good....he does around town riding, highway riding, and if we ever get time will go on further rides so it needs to be comfortable enough to with stand at least an hour of straight riding. So far LePera is the only one that looks padded enough (gel seat) but sporty enough.
He looked at the seat at harley, the brawler I think? It was terrible!

Im a big fat guy. right now around 375lbs. i have a leather bare bones with gel and have done 600 plus miles in a day. *** hurts like hell after that many miles but i could have any seat i wanted. IMHO no other seat looks better on my bike than the LePera bare bones. i would consider the Silhouette Solo for longer trips. it has a little more padding. In the end this is how I feel about it, If i wanted a lazy boy recliner on wheels i would buy an ultra...
I love my bare bones gel. Good luck in what you decide. Ride safe.

The D.G. Buttcrack solo is a very cool seat!! BUTT... (pun intended) they can be a bit "wierd feeling" if YOU don't come equipped with your own natural padding on your backside. Last night, I had the chance to "test sit" a well worn D.G. solo seat. The ridge down the middle of the seat made it feel a bit uncomfortable. In a "you can feel it and know it's there" kind of way. Mind you... I didn't ride the bike so I have no "on the road" experience with it. However... if I can feel that ridge with no bumps and grinds from the road, the feeling or discomfort can only get worse from there. My thoughts are the Buttcrack solo may not be the right seat for my boney lil' behind. Now, on the other hand (or cheek)... If hubby has a well padded backside, that ridge may not be an issue. As always... YMMV.
I'm now turning my attention to either a custom seat from a local guy, one from C&C or a solo from Le Pera to complete my Softail build.
Thus ends my pair of pennies. Good luck on yor search!!
