Ok, so here’s the deal. I ordered a LePera BareBones seat; which I thought was the lowest, slimmest, sleekest blah blah blah. .....I hated it. For some reason it just didn’t look like the o’ll hard core seats of the past.




Here’s a pic. ………









So I rip orf the foam, leather etc and get to the metal base. Ah, now that’s what I call a hard core seat. *Grin*.



Pic…….












Pic……..













Then I get told after riding it around for a few days that it destroys the look of the scoot etc etc etc. So I take the foam and rip it up and shave the **** outta it until it’s real real thin. (Well, that is ....... a bud does.




Pic………
















Then I smack leather over it.


















Well, now I think it sux again. It’s 100% better than the original but not as good as the metal pan.




So, question is, whadda ya think…. Should I clean up the pan so it’s nice and clean, or just whack a sheet of leather over it, with nothing underneath? Or what. Or should I just leave the current one on and hope it gets pounded down more from my *** being on it all the time.



Oh, and I don’t care about comfort, I hardly ever ride more than an hour here, ( If you do; you'd end up in the water ) and I deliberately rode an hour with the metal pan and it was fine on the ***. No complaints.

Hard core is the truth. Go on a longtrip and unless you got iron bunns you will hurttttttt.

 

looks nice, but after about 30 miles you'll be feeling it

 

someone makes a seat that you would like it got a cup and the front sides into the mount but its extremly contoured dont htink its got any padding at all just a cover and a little pad in it. If i can find my buddys email I will email him and see if i can get the name of the company. might be a few days till he gets it hes out of country on bussiness.

 

Yea man leave the metal pan!!!! Looks bitchin and comfy!!!!

 

Should have taken the label off the new model. Why give them credit for something you had to redo?

 

We have two members with bare bone home made seats (no suspension) and these guys ride long distances regulary. Looks good but a pain in the azz, I ride with a gunfighter seat, even that feels like sitting on a brick after all day on the saddle.

 

Nah, a real biker would just park his butt on the frame rails!

Seriously, tho, I had a LaPera on my bike when I bought it and I couldn't tell the difference between it and a plank.

 

Ok, so ripped all the leather and foam back orf of it and re-did it. Got some carpet or whatever that's called and some contact glue.

Doesn't look too professional as it was me that did it, but it's perfect now; .....aside from looking a little homemade.

My bud'll go over it next week with a decent thin plastic seat surround; and that'll cover the rough edges.

For now I love it. Went for a spin this afternoon, and it took about an hour, round trip. Butt was fine.


Now, I feel a part of the bike; and not on top of the bike. Absolutely love it. Oh, and I like the look of it a lot better too.

 

If ya like it....ride it!
