Default Le Pera Bare Bones?

Anyone using one? Just picked up a Wide Glide and want to get a little further back off the tank.

Hey, that looks familiar

I've got the BareBones with passenger pillion and it will do what you need it to do, move you rearward, I've got a long inseam and needed to move back and using the BareBones it worked out well. I added 2" riser extensions which move the bars up and back and I got a much better riding position to the point I put changing out the stock bars for apes on the back burner for now... Nice lookin' scoot, but I may be a bit biased...

I had one, hated it. It looked good on the bike, but after an hour or less it got really uncomfortable. I don't have much butt cushioning, so I have to rely on the seat for padding.

I have one, looks great on the bike, but like others said, over a 100 miles and it hurts. Mine is almost new, if you want a used one PM me, I'll sell it or trade it.

I have one with gel. I recently tried a mustang tripper, and I feel like the bare bones is more comfortable and looks better. Both are better than stock.

I really like the Bare Bones. I've taken it on four and five hour rides. It's not the best seat for those rides but it's bearable. The only think I don't like so much is that there is nothing to keep you from sliding back when you get on the throttle...

That was the main reason I switched from the Bare Bones to the Danny Gray Buttcrack Solo. The Bare Bones has no lip at the back to hold you in the seat when you go WOT. However, the fit, finish, and look of the Bare Bones is very good.
