Default Seat suggestions for Deluxe

I have a 2011 Black and Cream deluxe. The stock seat sits me to far upright. I slouch too much when I ride because of it. I need a SOLO seat that sits me back further. Trying to get a more comfortable ride and a really nice look. How much should I expect to spend? Thanks for your help.

I know this has been discussed in great detail on a few forums, some people have tried half a dozen seats in an effort to get it right.
Setting the Lepera fans aside, most seemed to have ended up with either a Heritage or a Springer seat , the Springer seats are harder to get hold of, I have the Heritage seat and it is so much better, only downside for me is the chrome studs in it, I would prefer it without them.
I'm still goin to get a Lepera Barebones, but I wont be ditching the Heritage seat either.

You can pick up the le pera cheap on ebay, a custom is going to run more then 200 bills

+1 on the lepara, it will sit you back in the saddle. Paid 120 for the gel barebones, then had it custom stitched.

I'm not sure Bare Bones and comfortable go together very well. Mine isn't bad with the Shotgun on back, but it was pretty firm before that.

Try re working the stock seat before spending the money,i removed my cover,shaved some foam,added some here and there,made a huge difference,slid me back and down,then re staple it,or most upholstery shops will do that for you,i did not want to lose the look of the stock seat,,,
