Default Lepera or C&C Seat?

I want to get a "solo" seat for when I ride one-up on my 2009 Street Glide. I'm wondering what people think of the Lepera "Bare Bones" or "Silhouette" seat versus the C&C "Solo" seat? Both companies are here in the Los Angeles area where I live, so I will be able to go check out both seats before buying. However, I would still like to know from those of you that have done similar research and purchases. Thanks.

Can't comment on the C&C but have been looking at them myself and seen alot of great reviews. As far as the LePera, I was not impressed one bit. The long runs were hard on the tail bone and it was fitted with the gel option.

I just received a couple weeks ago the CC w/backest for my 2010 SG. Absolutely a quality product and way more comfortable than stock. Looks fantastic on the bike too!

C&C makes some nice seats - definitly worth a look.

Cant imagine that either of the Lepera seats you mentioned would be good for a long haul.

I've run a Lepera Monterey solo for 5 years on my glide - had them customize the fit for me. It works great for short or long trips. It has held up and is in great shape, I'd buy it again.

I put a C&C SportTourer w/backrest on my StreetGlide. Top quality product!

Can't say anything about Lepera but, love the C&C Sport Tour on my Glide! Have a C&C solo seat on the Sporty and its pleanty comfortable but, never have put more than an hour or so in the saddle at one time. Good luck!

Thanks for all the input. Based on the responses in this thread and ones I've read in other threads, there's a pretty strong consensus that C&C is very well liked, and Lepera less so. Pictures like the one provided by Scooplove of what appears to be the C&C "Solo" seat really helps. That is the look I am trying to achieve for a single rider seat. Plus the comments about the C&C Solo seats typically indicate that the seat has high comfort quality, even though it is a more sleek, low profile seat. If I can ever get out of my office early enough, I'm going to drive over to C&C's store, and check their seats out firsthand.
