I'm looking at the same seats, mostly the smallest one, forget the name.... anyway I've done 500-600 miles on the stock Nightster seat in one day and was able to take it... but my *** certainly hurt. I suppose its all what your used too.

just for a test go ride your bike for 150 miles and then stop.
your azz will let you know when it's time to stop !!
and them le pera might look cool,but in the long run aint worth a Zhit out on the open.
like i said go ride non stop 150 and see, you'll know.
good luck

I've got the LePera Silhouette with gel on my Train...and don't let anyone tell you the gel isn't worth the few extra $$, makes all the difference in the world...I can stay in the saddle all day, and I get compliments on the looks of the seat all the time...

I have the Lepera Sorento and my a$$ gets sore after a couple hours of riding. Nothing bad enough that I have to stop riding but sore enough that you feel it.

I have a Le Pera Bare Bones seat on my Sporty. It's fine for around town but anything longer than 40-50 miles and it causes a numbing sensation (I must have a nerve that is getting pressing on by the seat). Great looking, first rate quality - terrible riding, although your mileage may vary. Doesn't have gel but I wish it did.

Seeing its your first post, welcome to HDF. As for Lepera seats..... which one, there are quite a few. Great seats overall and offer superiror quality. The solos are not touring seats and are only so comfortable for X number of miles (I have a silhouette myself and routinely do 100 miles on it), the touring seats are excellent offering superb lower back support and comfortable padding.

I have a le pera sorento and I really like it. Huge improvement over stock. It looks good and rides even better.
