Hello, I know this topic is a dead horse that has become a zombie and then killed again but I do have a question a few specific questions. I want a solo seat that is somewhat comfortable. I do a few 300+ mile rides a year. I also want to be placed down and back on the bike. I read a lot of good reviews on the Corbin Hollywood solo but I will be using a Motherwell rack and I don't think Corbin's mounting system will allow access to the seat bolt. I sent Sick Saddles an email a few days ago to see what their suggestions were. I keep coming back to the Lepera Bare Bones seat. I did have one on my old WG and it looked great and seating position was perfect but comfort was bad for long rides. I have also read some decent reviews on the Lepera Silhouette. The Lepera seat I had was basic no Biker Gel. Does the Biker Gel make a big difference in comfort? Also, what about one of those removable pads for the seat? I've never had any experience with them but that may be perfect for a trip, then remove it when you get to your destination.

My wants:

Down and back on bike.

Minimum look on the bike.

Decent Comfort (I know I will have to sacrifice some comfort for looks).

Access to the seat bolt for my Motherwell Rack


Thanks for the help!!

 

I love my Sick Saddle.

I have a C&C solo. Had it for 5 years now and it still looks good and comfortable. 300-400 miles days are no problem for me on this seat. This seat sits you down and back an inch.

 

My vote Sick saddles or C&C, love them all!

 

Thank you, That C&C looks good. Is it just their basic solo seat??

 

I have the bare bones w/ gel and I have had many full days in the saddle. Would I want to ride across country? No. But it isn't terrible for a seat designed w/ looks in mind. It also sits you further away from the bars which I like because I'm 6'7''. I couldn't compare it to the version without gel as I've never sat on or rode with one. I had always owned sport bikes that had seats similar to sitting on cement so I guess I have more tolerance.

 

Yes!!

 

Take a look at the Mustang Wide Tripper Solo. Mustang always gets rave revues about their comfort, mine included. I went with the Wide Tripper with backrest (makes so much difference in comfort). You will also have access to the seat screw with this seat. It is a great looking seat that is comfortable even without the backrest.

 

Thanks for all the info guys!

 

What cover do you guys prefer on your seats leather or vinyl?? I'm guessing each have their pros and cons?
