Default Suggestions for comfortable solo seat

Hey all:

I'm currently running a LePara Barebones which is plenty cool running around town but really sucks on trips involving more than a tank of fuel. For those running solo seats, any recommendations on a solo setup that is less "posteriorly" invasive?

Thanks!!

Barebones is basically the most uncomfortable seat available. Almost anything will be an improvement. Do a search. This is a weekly topic.

yea, I've looked at Corbin, Mustang and Ultimate. Just seeing what anybody else had. Can't tell much from their websites. Thanks for the reply, perhaps somebody else will have something to offer.

I found the Saddleman gel solo seat the most comfortable. Also it comes with a pocket to insert a backrest.

Don't remember the exact model name.

I like the LePera villain that I got over the winter. The little bit that I have had to ride with it have been good, nice back support and sleek design.

Definitely NOT a Lepera Bare Bones or Lil Nugget

something nice and wide...maybe a Corbin Classic

I have the Corbin Gunfighter with a backrest. It's my fourth seat and the best one. I like the look of it as well.
