New Seat

I got my Le Pera Sorrento in the mail tonight. Haven't been able to test ride it yet, but I like the look. It has kept the line I have worked to maintain pretty well, and the best part....It'll hopefully end the crying I constantly hear from my 6 about her *** hurting

I rode the seat tonight. It sits low enough which was a major concern, but a little too forward from what I'm used to. It's not so drastic that I won't that I won't get used to it though. I'll get some pics up as soon as the sun comes back out.

With the stock seat I felt like I was sitting on top of the handlebars, and at 5'11" I felt like it was an effort to sit flat footed at a stop light. My main seat is a Le Pera Bare Bones which sits me low and back. My legs have a hint of a bend in the knee with my forwards and it's a really comfortable ride. Unfortunately, since the seat has minimal padding after 150 miles are so my *** is so sore that I'm no longer having fun. So, since I like the Le Pera line, I did some major studying of their seat line up. This one had the style I was looking for, the padding to clock some miles, and a wide enough passenger area to keep the wife from bitching after only 50 miles. If all I have to get used to is a little forward of a riding position than I'm used to, and it accommodates the other set backs then I guess I can adapt.
