La Pera isn't the most comfortable but looks killer... I've put on up to 500 miles a day on my bike thou and it's not a big deal. I have other guys who complain about the stock seat being to hard and in that case I tell em you don't want to go La Pera than...

I haven't tried a C&C seat, but I have a butt that tends to fit Corbin seats <G>. I tried a LePera on my Electra Glide, it looked fantastic but was the most uncomfortable seat I've ever sat on. Couldn't get rid of it fast enough. The Corbin Hollywood solo is surprisingly comfortable for such a small seat. I've run them on 3 bikes now.

I have used both, and the C&C is by far the better seat for comfort. Although I think the Lepera looks slightly better, the C&C is still quite nice in the looks department and also provides comfort. I did 2500 miles in one week this summer with the C&C, and no problems. There is no way I would try that on the Lepera solo.

My main reason for le pera was when I talked to Ashley she send me material samples and helped design my seat and it was a good price for custom quality work. You should hit them up drew and talk to her she's awesome to deal with

Thanks for all the responses but please keep em coming. So far it looks like the LePera is for looks and the C&C is for comfort. I dont plan on doing 1000 mile in a day on this thing but I have done 400-500 before in a day. Of the two that have had both looks like their vote was C&C.
Im looking for a seat that has both looks and comfort but comfort is a little more important.

They are both very fine brand seats... You just can't beat the looks of a Lepera. It definatley sits you down in the bike. For me the only Lepera that looks good is the "barebones"... I don't care for that 2-up silloette seat. I do like the looks of those C&C's also.

As for comfort i just did a 800 mile ride to Feyetteville, AK with my NO gel Lepera. My a$$ was just fine. I read about some guys complaining about a 100+ rides with them. I just don't get it.

On a side note....IMO... BOBBEREVO's ... diomond stictched is the baddes Lepera i've seen. As well as Dr.Twins is the baddest C&C... And there's some other cat runnen a white diomond stitched Danny Grey buttcrack around this forum which is **** also.... Maybe if i'm lucky i will be able to join the diomond group... diggen the diomonds.

I have the silhouette with biker gel on the deuce and love both the looks and comfort over the stock HD seat. Sorry never tried the C&C.
