Default Le Pera Daytona

Is it a huge amount better than stock? The Daytona Sport model.

Considering the basket weave, maybe some gel, I dunno. I'll be ripping a 2000 mile trip over Memorial Day and wonder if I'd be better off on this than my OEM two up seat...

Thanks.

Personal opinion....

I like my Danny Gray Butt Crack Solo. Leather cover, gel foam, looks good, reasonable price.

I also have a Danny Gray Two up. Same thing but with the tribal stitching in red

I don't care for vinyl. My butt sweats enough. Don't need no help.

Just my $.02.

P.S.

It used to be that Harley's higher-end seats were all Danny Gray but you couldn't get the gel in the foam. Of course, Harley charged more.

Cool. Thanks for that... I'm stoked on any input!

Looking for opinions on this particular seat tho. Anyone have any experience?

I have the Daytona Sport, but smooth, not basketweave. It's probably the narrowest seat I've had, which makes it great around town, but unless you're a$$ is really skinny it may not be too great after a few hours.

Overall, I like it a lot, my wife is happy enough with the rear section of the seat. It looks great, and is high quality.

I have the Daytona Sport and love it. Have done a lot of 400+ miles a day rides. I would ride it over the stock seat any day.

I had a Lepera Daytona on a sportster and thought it was a big improvement on stock. Firm with good lower back support for long rides.

I'd recommend against gel. My last bike had gel seat and I hated it. Too hot to touch when left in sun and monkey butt after a couple of hours.

Daytona sport is pretty damn comfy! My regular seat is a Bare Bones, which I can ride 300+ on. The Daytona Sport, 300 miles feel like 150 on the bones, If that helps any. They are both nice looking on the Street Bob.
