Black only.
Brown only works on an old school bike or one with brown/tan/white/yellow on it.

 

Just got a text from the wife and she said...Don't get the brown if you do the bike sleeps outside...

 

I have a brown Le Pera seat on my black Heritage and it looks cool! It certainly stands out from the standard black on black. SJ Ron

 

Looks like problem solved...

 

I thought she was going to say sleeps with the fishes. Black with silver stitching would be the way to go then!

 

 

I had a brown seat on my cvo but the color was a denim pewter and it looked great I think you can definitely pull off brown on a black sled!

 

I think as long as you don't "black out" the rest of the bike, both would look good.

 

Why not a dark gray?

 

Just wanted to mention that the 2013 Anniversary seats are two tone brown and black. Just an idea if you simply can't pick on color.
