But yes, starting at $700....that's a bit steep for a seat (to me). I can get the Danny Gray seat and passenger pillon together for around $450. So, the more searching I did today, it just doesn't seem worth it. I'm sure they make great seats, but I'd rather get the DG seats, and spend the extra $$$ on something else for the bike.



I also looked at the Le Pera Bare Bones seat, and honestly almost pulled the trigger last week. But I just couldn't get away from the fact of buying an aftermarket seat and still seeing the mounting hardware. At least the DG seat does a better job of covering the mounting hardware up. The Bare Bones seat looks cool, and is minimalist, but just don't like the mounting setup.

I also want to to cover the seat bolts, that’s my biggest complaint cuz I don’t run the rear pillion.

yea I talked to to bitchin forever and they seem awesome!!! But yea they wanted to buy a mustang seat and then customize it for me? That’s adding $300 to the starting cost! lol

Also I wasn't a huge fan of the 18+ headlight, or the way the swingarm mounts to the frame. I do however like that HD finally figured out to black stuff out from the factory. Pros and cons of them all...

Is he doing it for your 2018 breakout?? I ask because I’ve asked many custom seat makers and either they want me to be local, or they won’t mess with 2018’s cuz they don’t have any templates or whatever!?
