Lepera Daytona 2-UP Pics ....
Recently, I had a thread going on the quality of LePera seats. Virtually everyone that posted was very complementary of Lepera in terms of quality, fit, and workmanship. I must say they were right. I received my Daytona 2-UP on Friday and am very impressed. The quality is outstanding .... heads and tails above any other seat I've owned. I rode close to 80 miles yesterday and couldnt be happier in my purchase in terms of comfort, looks, and fitment.
I ordered my seat direct through LePera, and went basketweave in the seating areas.... (props to Marrano for the picsand help).I figured if I was about to drop money on a seat that was being made for me, I'd get something different. I also thought basketweave would be cooler and breath better in the hot, humid weather around here (lower Alabama). The Daytona 2-UP seemed to be the best "compromise" seat I could find .... meaning it has enough passenger comfort for a 200 mile day, but still retains a low, clean, and tidy appearance. TheDaytona is lower than stock, has a fair amount of lumbar support, and is nowider than the sideplates in the rear.
Enough of my rambling ..... here aresome pics :

RE: Lepera Daytona 2-UP Pics ....
Thanks for the kind words .... I like this seat a great deal. To answer your question, the wife hasnt taken a ride yet. However, she's short and never liked a wide passenger seat at all .... said she was uncomfortable and felt she was having to fight to keep her feet on the passenger pegs. I figure that's the best luck I've ever had .... allowed me to get the seat of my choice and one that wasnt a road sofa. As I stated above, the Daytona 2-UP seemed to be the perfect fit.
No sooner than I had the seat mountedshe wanted on back .... sat there a few moments and said that she loved it. Considering she hated the wider seat, I have no doubt she'll make a 200 mile day on this one. Once we ride I'll let you know.
Thanks again for the complement ....

I think I'll get the Lepera Daytona 2-up like yours (maybe the "regal plush" for comfort - it sure is fugly, though.)

I'll let you know. We/ll probably head out Sat. afternoon with a few other folks for dinner on the coast if the weather is right. Once again, I cant say enough about how well-made this seat is.

I don't particularly like the looks of the regal plush model, but my wife and I both expect it to be more comfortable than the other models. It looks like it would be anyway.I think I'll buy that model and a matching sissy bar pad.

Hay Sgt I see you still have weeds,
I order a deluxe solo from Lepera and I guess it will be here this week, The basket wave does look nice, I like it I went with vinyl because I was told too then buy a gel pad for long trips "IF I THINK I NEED A GEL PAD" So its a hit or miss, we'll see when it gets here, I'm 65 and my Axx doesn't have padding like it use to.
