What's it's going on, what have you narrowed it down to?

It is going a 06 night train. I was looking at a Corbin, lapera, or mustang. I am not sure of the reviews on these or which is better.

Thanks for the advice.

You need to determine, or advise of what you want in a seat. Are you looking for more comfort, a better look? Why do you want a different seat?

Just put a Mustang Solo on mine. It is a bit thicker so I sit higher, not sure if I like it up high. Changed the balance and handling. Much more comfortable so far than the Corbin I took off. Gonna ride it for a while before I decide whether to keep it as is, modify it by taking an inch out of it and have it recovered, or go to something else. Hope this helps.

I've been having the same issue as of late. I find a solo seat I like and for every good review I read, I read a bad one. I've come to accept the fact that people aren't going to be happy unless their bitching about something.

I think I'm just going to go with the LePera Bare Bones and be done with it.

The bare bones in my opinion looks the best if you want a really minimalistic seat for around town riding. There are some iron asses on here that say they can ride all day with one...that probably wont be your experiance. I love my seat and will never change it until my back breaks or Lepera comes out with an even smaller one. Everything is a trade off where looks and comfort are concerned. Seats are like fat chicks...the ones with lots of padding are a nice ride but who wants to be seen on one? lol jk

C&C seats are nice quality as well from what I hear...some say the foam is better, maybe it is?

I ebay'd a Lepara Bare Bones. It was like sitting on a plank of wood. Didn't fit my bike anyway... Thinking of getting an inch or so sculpted out of my Deluxe seat.

I've got a Mustang and a Saddleman gel like them both. But I must say the Saddleman sits me lower, which I like.
