Default LePera Seat

Anyone have a LePera Route 66 or Continental seat with built in back rest on their touring Harley ? If so could you post some pictures of them on the bike ? Does it have the optional gel in the seat ? Any feedback would be greatly appreciated. Being a big guy my search for a new seat continues. I like the fact that these models offer wider seating areas for the rider and passenger.

Default LePera Seat

Anyone have a LePera Maverick on their bike they could post a picture of ? I just want to get an idea of what a LePera touring seat looks like on a Harley touring bike.. Pictures in their web site do not show their seats mounted on a bike..

Not sure if this will help, but here's a description
.

You can order directly from LePera and they can add a gel and/or do some contouring if you like. I have their Monterey solo on my King. LePera seats are a bit firm, but they break in.

RK, Thank you. Personally I rather have a firm seat, the foam does not break down as easily. Thanks again.

I bought my first LePera seat about a year ago, for my '01 Springer. It's obviously not the seat model you're interested in, but I wanted to say it's a very strong, well made seat. I am impressed with the quality of the seat. My model is a firm seat, but comfortable...

Thanks for the feedback. I have never had a LePera. Over the years just about ever other brand. I have heard nothing but good things about their seats and quality..

One thing to note, if you order direct from LePera, inquire about trying the seat you order first. They will send the seat w/o the cover to try out. If you need to have them recontour, they will do it before putting on the cover. I did that with my solo seat and had the neck narrowed before they covered it.

If you like sitting on a vinyl covered brick then have at it.
Most uncomfortable seat I have ever sat on in my life.

Look into C & C Seats far better quality and selection of coverings, color etc etc etc
