I have the pleated version on my badboy. I really like it. It is firm and flater than most seats but with your feet up on the pegs it has a nice wide feel to it. I think it is more comfortable than my badlander.

Thanks guys. Right now I have a Mustang seat for my long trips, & the stock Fatboy seat as my solo. The stock seat isn't very comfy at all. I'm lookin for a slimmer solo that will sit me lower, & be good for 100-150 miles, (poker runs & such). I just can't afford to buy one the high end seats right now. I'm torn between one of these types & a spring solo seat.

I have the LePara Bare Bones seat and love it! Must warn ya there is not a lot of padding and puts you lower on the bike. I had drag bars and moved to Apes as I found when I went to this seat it put me in a forward position and my back was arched...the Apes made a big difference with this seat, now I sit up straight and its a lot easier on the back (keeping in mind I am a grandmother, not spring chick)

Really nice ride! I really like the smaller windscreen!

NB, great looking bike.
I had to put some apes on my 99 Fatboy too for the same reason. I'm not a spring chicken either,(6 grandkids), & the leaning forward just didn't cut it for me either.
