Lepera Bare Bones Pix
Finally got a chance to take a few quick pix of the scoot with the new Bare Bones on it. There have been a couple of threads pop up lately about seats and the Leperas have come up in discussion so here's a chance to see one example of it. The first couple are the bike with the seat. The last 2 will show a comparison of the Bare Bones vs. the Street Bob stock solo I was running.

so how about comfort.I love the look, but have heard that the comfort isn't there.

. I'm now plenty low enough due to the seat and no longer feel the desire to lower the rear end.I think comfort is going to be relative, though, from person to person just like exhaust sounds are IMO. I don't expect or want a real soft, cushy ride with no vibrations on a Harley. I like being able to feel the feedback from the bike as I ride it. Otherwise, I would have bought a Softail. My wife, on the other hand, does want and expect that and that is why I own that eyesore sofa seat they call the Tallboy. [8D]

2007fxdcthanks. that is some good input. I am looking for a good around town and 3 to 4 hour trip seat. looks like that might be the way to go. I am 6ft. and around 240lbs. myself. I can suck it up for a few hours for the sake of good looks!
I too have a sofa seat for when the girlfriend rides by the name of the Sundowner.(most comfortable seat I have ever owned by the way.)

Even when I get a little butt burn from riding, I can usually just stand up for a few seconds when I hit a red light and that cures it fora little while. Even when I'm cruising the backroads around here, there are so many little towns to go through, there's always a chance to stop and stand up for a few seconds so it's really no big deal for me. I have a bad lower back so I usually have to stop and stretch more for that than I do theole bum anyway.

that makes up my mind for sure. most the guysI ride with like to stop every hour or so anyway, so it is time for a barebones for me. anything has got to be better than that stock seat. it is way to soft for me.

I had one on my FXRP, after you get used to it it is surprisingly comfortable. I made several 2 to 3 grand trips on it with out a problem. I just packed my gear behing to lean on and it was great. I wouldnt worry about comfort too much unless your just wanting to ride on a pillow.
