Hey guys I'm looking for some advice on sleek looking solo seats for my nightster that confortable for all day rides, up to several hundred miles. I like the shape of the stock seat but it has little padding where it's needed. The lepera gel looks nice and so far looks to be my best option. Any opinions? Im 5'11" 175 if it matters.

 

Gel in the seat is an amazing thing to have...you might be able to just have a local upolstery guy add gel to the stock seat.

 

I had a 1993 sportster with gel in the seat . very good way to go. just get off the bike and stretch every 100 miles or so, get gas, have a smoke or coffee or what ever and itll all be good

 

Does lepera sell just the gel pad or are they avalible somewhere else? It would be great to keep my stock seat and just have the pad added.

 

Dennis Kirk has a few to choose from this is the large pad from Saddlemen...you may be able to find it cheaper..

Has anybody compared le pera and mustang in terms of comfortability with their own a**?

 

Wonder if the get pad could be cut down to fit.

 

Has anyone tried to install a gel pad on their own?

 

Just peel the cover off and line up the gel pad trace the outside with a sharpie and trim out the same thickness of the gel pad out Of the foam. The gel pad is very easily trimmed with scissors , very easy job.

 

Below is a Lepera Barebones with gel on a Nightster. I have the same seat on my Street Bob. Because of the size of the Nightster, the seat isn't as nice for long distance as the Street Bob. (In short the gel feels better on a bigger seat...) I do like the look on both.
I'm 5' 8" 130lb.
