I have 2 seats aside from the OEM for the Sporty. A LePera bare bones for looks and short hauls and a mustang with detachable pillion for any ride over 100 miles.
The quality on the LePera is second to none. The Mustang seat is also well made and the comfort is almost unbeatable.

As for "Gel" seats they are not good for Florida. LePera advised me to skip the gel as it would absorb heat while parked and retain it making the seat unbearable at times.

Yup. Have 4 seats myself. Corbin was an expensive gamble but it's great for me. I like the heat option. My Lepers bare bones is free to anyone who wants to pay shipping. By far the coolest looking seat.

Good Morning! Unless you're an NFL head coach. 1/4 of the teams have fired their coaches this year.

What I really need is new grips. The black HD grips I put on are metal and get red hot. Then to top it off the quality is pure crap. They are falling apart at less than 2 year old 8 months of which I wasn't riding.

Re-Morning, Woods

Jose, had the seat on my old Heritage done by MCC, they moved me back and inch. Well worth the money. On the Ultra, they said they couldn't get me back the 2" that I needed. I got the ULTIMATE seat that moved me 2" back. It's a great seat, my BIL got one for his Fugly. They're located in Ormond beach.
