c&c makes a very VERY good seat that some people seem to overlook until they try it. might be something else for you to look into. their diamond stitch looks awesome (the one on the right in the photo)
however, i do have a bare bones on my lo, just installed it two weeks ago. 2nd day i had it, rode literally all day and didn't have a single complaint. and that's with the lowering kit freshly installed so that thing was bumping and grinding the whole time.

Here are a couple iPhone photos I took right after the install. Then I went for a short ride...enough to get a feel for the way it changed my riding position, but certainly not a long enough ride to comment on comfort yet. As for the riding position, I really like the change. This seat brings me down and back a little (eliminates the feeling of being pushed too close to the tank); back far enough so that I feel like I can really stretch my legs out. Even the way I grip the bars is more comfortable in this seat. HUGE difference in feel from the stock seat. I'm really looking forward to going on a longer ride to get a full sense of what this thing has to offer (or lacks, for that matter). I'm definitely liking the way it looks on the Softail frame!! I'll be back to post more after a longer ride. **Sorry for the tiny photos...not sure why they didn't attach full size**

I was tempted to go with a La Pera seat for my Softail Deluxe, but was hesitant because the way the pillion is installed. I have read bad things on how it's a pin in the @$$ to install the pillion to the solo seat...So I decided to go with a C&C seat. They were awesome enough to do my custom work. Had a Solo seat, Pillion, Tank and Rear Fender Bib, for the times I want to take my bike to shows or ride Solo. The comfort of the ride is nice and smooth, even for my girl. I chose Leather/Vinyl Alligator Embossed leather, let me know what you think.
