My Fatboy came with a LaPare Bare Bones and I've got no padding down yonder in the rear so it would hurt after just a few miles...but it sure looked sharp

Bought the wife one of them sheepskins to try our on her spyder. The seats on them aren't the greatest, so maybe it will help her a bit.

I put at least 20,000 miles on mine and don't ever want to use it again but it is a good looking seat!

I only put a thousand or so on my bare bones. My buddy had a stock Softail seat he gave me and that was so much better.

Calling it a night, Woods! Will back read and catch up in the morning. Love, peace and chicken grease!

Not quite sure why the seats are so expensive. Kinda like exhaust. It's just 2 pipes with a couple bends in them.

Makes sense to a point. All about quantity produced. A 20 lb u joing for a semi cam be like $12 but one for a f-150 is like $30. Pound for pound it doesn't make sense.

Isn't that the truth. Funny how that works.
