The bare bones gets better the longer you ride it. I think it's the best looking seat.

Use a pillow? :-)
Even for me the Bare Bones has the look more beautiful.
But it's really uncomfortable after a while, especially on the softail.
The Bare Bones on the King was more comfortable.
I was hoping that the Brawler was better but from what I read not think so .... I do not know whether to buy ....

You fix a supplied bracket to the two bolts on the fender, the bracket has one bolt on it, which goes through the back of the seat.
Its a real good look.

cheers Pal, was goin with a Bare Bones as I like one of their styles (Hot Rod Bel air) but noticed on here there's a guy "likestoride" who has a C&C with the same style? So now open to best price with best shipment to the UK. I'll contact them both now!

I have both the barebones in vinyl and the brawler in leather and the barebones is good for about an hour of seat time where the brawler is good for 2 or more a very nice seat. The barebones does look better but comfort is important when you ride all day not 15 min to the next bar

I've had both, and both are in my shed. The Brawler was bad, but the Lepera was a total concrete block.
I'm 5'10" and 240. I couldn't ride for more than 1 1/2 hours before being in trouble with *** burn. I tried a Mustang Vintage solo for the hell of it. They only cost a couple hundred, so it was worth a shot. Unbelieveable difference. I can literally ride all day pain free.
I know they're ugly, but I would rather ride without being in pain...
