LePera Bare Bones on my Deluxe. I never have to stop because of the seat - it's always to take a leak or to give my hands a break. I always find I'm cramping up in my hands way before my *** starts to hurt.

I actually find the bare bones to be as comfortable as the stock seat, maybe even more so.

I agree 100%! I am amazed at how comfortable this seat is. I have rode all day long and my *** hurting has never been the issue. I guess I am going to have put highway pegs on the bike though (although I don't really want the look of them for this bike). My knees starting hurting after a couple of hours without a break without being able to stretch out.

On my '02 RK I tried a Mustang, and a Corbin, and always went back to the stock seat. I'm weird, eh? Have done 1,100+ mile rides nonstop other than gas stops on that stock seat.

Of all the bikes Ive owned, 11 of them and a few custom seats,

IMO, the Stock seat on our 07 Heritage is by far the most comfortable seat of all of them. When or if it goes south, I'll find another 07 stock seat to replace it with.

I've had Mustangs with rider backrest on my last two bikes. I tried nearly every seat out there from C&C to Corbin to Harley. The Mustang is the best fit for me personally. I haven't had a long road (over 400 miles one way) trip on my current bike, but did ride over 900 miles in 2 days on my last one. I had no issues at all. The backrest made all the difference in the world IMHO.
My Lapera Bare Bones only works for me like an hour. No gel in it -- I've always wondered how much of a difference the gel would make. Still considering having it re-done.
My stocker was re-worked -- had Mean City add the memory foam. Good for maybe 2 hours.
Any more than that and I put on the Ultimate Seat with the backrest. I think the backrest is a huge part of the comfort equation. Also, the highway pegs allow you to change positions and that helps too.
