The Le Pera Bare Bones is obviously a lower ride, that is why I am considering it.
But what I a can not figure out from the descriptions or photos is will it move me back?
I am looking for lower and the same as stock or a bit closer - just not back.

Thank in advance.

 

I have a bare bones for my 07 wg. it seems to be a couple of inches lower and sets you back a couple of inches. I'm rather tall and with the forward controls it's very comfortable. however not alot of padding so stick to short rides or smooth roads.

 

I have one on my 2000 FXDL it is very low but I didn't notice too much set back with it. If I hit the gas hard my butt slides up the back. It also kind of hard, I haven't had it on very long I hear it takes about 400 miles for it to break in but I'm not sure that's true.

 

They do get softer,It just takes a little time

 

I have one on my 06 Bob. It doesn't set you back at all. And it looks fantastic.

 

it definatly lowers you but i dont feel like it set me back more than an inch at the most.

 

a great seat and i find it fine all day/long runs, if it does set you back i dont really notice it.

Whether the Bare Bones will move you back or not depends on the seat you are comparing it to.

I havean OEM 07 FXDCon my 06 FXDI. I used this two up seat because it moved me back further than previous seats (a Wide Glide seat, a Low Rider seat, and a Bob solo seat).

I did not find the Bare Bones moved me back compared to the FXDC two up. I believe it would have moved me back compared to the other stock seats I listed above.

 

There isn't any rigid support on the bare bones like a lot of cushier seats so, there is the opportunity to move around if you like - including moving back some. I got mine because I wanted to go lower and back and it's perfect for me. However, I can also scoot up on it and stay there without feeling like I'm sliding backwards as well.

 

I ordered one last week directly from Le Pera, it wont ship till the 12th. They said they are made when theyre ordered. I got the one with the Gel insert. By the time I get it, it will be ready for Rolling Thunder and that should give me an idea of the comfort of it. Tho I probably wont have it broken in by then.
