Default Opinions on this seat...

I was looking for a "low profile seat" for my 06 Sportster Custom, so I ordered about two months ago a LePera SILHOUETTE LT SMOOTH UP-FRONT FULL LENGTH, I like a lot the look of this seat but unfortunately is still on backorder... I was tired of the wait and canceled the order. I was looking at e-bay and found a "C&C Low Profile Seat"




Here's the e-bay link.

Let me know your opinions about the seat.

I think it looks really cool. Seems thin though, how comfortable will it be?

I agree with HDWG.

Looks are important but your butt does not have eyes.

It does look a little thin and I hope you don't plan on riding 2UP on it. It is a sharp seat though. What's the worst that can happen? You hate and put it back on eBay. Can't hurt to experiment a little.

Nice looking. Stylish without taking away from the looks of the bike.
