I've considered that one myself, looks like it has some back support which is great, just not sure how it moves you around

I installed a Le Pera Daytona Sport (LK-510) on my Street Bob before heading out on a month-long tour of the west. I am around 6' tall and weigh 180 pounds. I found the seat quite comfortable, but eventually grew sore after a few tanks. I could comfortably get around 400-500 miles before my buns grew weary, causing me to stop every hour for a rest. In consideration of price, appearance, performance, and comfort, I wouldn't hesitate to buy the saddle again. I've never ridden around 6k miles on it to date, and the padding has compressed (now sits lower), but have no personal comparison to stock seat position.

Awesome. Thanks for the reply! I guess the only other question I have for you guys is, how much do you weigh? I only weigh about 165lbs and have like no padding in my ***. It's like straight flesh cheek and bone. So I'm pretty much depending on the seat for padding

The seat and bars/controls are the two parts of the bike that can completely change your riding experience. I know $400 is a lot but it’s a one time purchase, might be worth reconsidering and looking into the more expensive options that will get you more comfort. It really does make a big difference. I upgraded from a low profile seat to a saddlemen step up, much more enjoyable ride.
