Default Brawler Vs Lepera

I have on my Fatboy Lepera Barebones.
After an hour the broke my *** :-)
I would like a Brawler, it seems a little more comfortable.
Do you have experience with this?

No, Lepera normal and I want a Brawler Leather 53359-02

In the back seems thicker and more comfortable.
But I would like an opinion.
I would not spend money unnecessarily

The brawler is a little more comfortable and I think looks nicer since it is leather.I was hoping for a little more from the brawler but it was an improvement.

I have the vinyl brawler solo and starts to feel uncomfortable after about an hour as well. It's ok for short trips but not any longer than that. My stock seat is way better.

Same can be said for my LePera, about 1.5 hours is all my a$$ can take. With my stock seat I've don 3.5 without stopping. I just put it back on for long runs.

C&C solo is more comfortable than Lepera, with a similar look.

Took about 1500 miles to break in my bare bones. This summer rode from Cali to Idaho on it. Bought a Mustang vintage solo in Idaho. The barebones is a great seat for 45 min max but love the way it looks on the bike! Only have it on for spring and summer though. I think I have around 20,000 miles in the saddle with the bones.
