they do look cool, but comfort goes a lot longer the older you get. . cool doesn't help much if it hurts to ride. i know some prefer to look cool, my bike is cool enough, so i don't don't need to pose for anyone

LOL - if it was too painful to ride, it wouldn't be on the bike. It isn't however as comfy as other seats without such a low profile or that have more padding (IE: seats you sit "on" vs "in"). I ride, 15k a year between 3 bikes (in Ohio, riding season is 7 months a year if I am lucky and I turned 50 this year...), not posing for anyone. Question was asked about seats that get you "in" the bike. Lepera's do exactly that. Back to the ignore list.

Agree. The minimalist, flowing contour of the Le Pera looks great on a bike. Definitely an option if long rides are not in the picture, or as a second seat perhaps.

if you have to buy a second seat just to look cool, you're going about it the wrong way, IMO

The fitment on this **** should be spot on if it's a Harley made product in my eyes and for the amount of money you spend it's kind of disheartening.

Nothing fancy but the station where I buy my gas decided to start selling non-ethanol gas so today, for something different, I've decided to start running this stuff in my Springer just to see how it works and if there's any noticeable improvement in the performance of my bike.

Ethanol does NOT produce as much energy as gasoline. Makes complete sense (even at 10%). Wish I could find that around here.
