Default Lepera Villain with a Yaffe tank pic

I finally got my Lepera Villain seat to for my Yaffe tank. I still have my C&C seat that was re-shaped to fit the tank as well. The Lepera is a good seat but I dont think I would use it for riding more than 100 miles. For bar hopping and a quick 50-100 mile rides its fine but for those other rides I will use the C&C seat. The support on the C&C seat is better due to it being stiffer in the back. Or maybe because my *** is too big for the Lepera LOL. One thing I like about the Lepera is on the turns. It hugs me better and I feel I have more control in the turns where as the C&C is bigger and I tend to slide a little more. So in a nutshell both seats have their purposes. If you can swing both seats I would get recomend both. And since my wife only weights 120lbs she can fit on either seat. But the Villain does look bad ***.

Those are 14 inch bars. I got them from Rockheadbikes.com Free shipping as well as the Villain seat. I had the 12 inch bars for about 5 months before putting on the 14 inch bars. Im glad I did because #1 they are more comfortable and #2 now nothing is blocking the mirrors. Plus they look bad ***

Like i said for 50-100 miles the lepera is a pretty good seat. my *** does hurt a little after I put 50 miles on it. how I think once broken in it will feel better. I had a lepera on my nightrain so I know what the seat is all about. But for those longer rides i will use my C&C seat for now until the Lepera is broken in.

Looks good man! I like the low profile lines and how it hugs the rear fender!

Give it a few hundred miles...lepera are notorious for being a high quality seat manufacturer..with that comes a seat that takes a little bit longer to break in.
great looking bike by the way.
