Then i broke down and ordered one from American Classic Motor.. They were cheaper than everybody (yes i called/checked several different places).... seat arrived in a week.
i stand corrected.

"barebones" for 1-up .... stocker for 2-up... This is what i do myself...
+1 I do the same. But there is a pillion for the bare bones if you want to run it that way.

Unfortunetly LePera doesn't sell a pillion pad made for a 08+ Deluxe... http://lepera.com/seat_pgs/v3_Softai...l.php?SEATID=3 and i called LePera and asked if they plan on making a pillion pad in the future and they said ...."NO".... which sucks. Phantom pad makes a suction cup pillion pad that will fit on http://phantom-pad.com/retailstore/i...&products_id=2 but it might look off because of how the 08+ Deluxe seats bolts in the rear not sides.

I found out the hard way about the pillion seating on a 08+ Deluxe.... I purchased a LePera pillion pad and had to return it.. So to me im just gonna suck it up and use my LePera for 1-up and stocker for 2-up.... besides im also running a touring pillion pad and not one of the ladys on the back of my bike ever complained about a touring pillion pad... Now that stocker skinny Deluxe pillion pad is a different story.

100% does... stocker feels like your sitting on the tank and the LePera barbones feels like your sitting on the rear fender and lower too.

I dont know man you kinda seem like your trippin on the comfort, as for me looks whoops comforts *** everyday of the week. You should see if anyone in your area has a barebones and ask maybe they might let you sit on their woman. that way you know what your getting

Its winter in Chicago.....there is no place I could go. I sat on a fatboy with a LePera seat, but it was a 2 up. It was a little stiff, but it wasn't bad.

+1 on the barebone, and if you have BobberEvo great styling taste (amazing job on the white/black work) that is just a bonus.
