LePera Maverick
In order to convince my girlfriend for a ride in my Street Bob 2009, I searched for a 2-up seat.
Since I'm from Portugal, I don't have as many alternative seat manufacturers as most northamericans. Disliking the overall aspect of H-D touring seats, I then chose a LePera Maverick.
After almost 5 weaks between shipping and customs burocracy, the seat has finally arrived.
IMHO, it is a gorgeous and chuncky seat, rather than fat and "ballonish" like some H-D seats I have seen.
I only had a couple of minutes of riding time, but I can tell you that's going to be a very cosy and comfortable seat. The road bumps are softened. The lumbar support is awesome and I can seat lower.
As nice as the back support is though, it pulls you a bit forward. And because I still have mid-controls, I 'm guessing that the next purchase will be forward ones.
I have great expectations for this seat. Better give it some mileage!
I hope you enjoy the pictures.
Rock on

I'm shopping for a seat. Like was stated, seems like plenty of padding for the passenger, but the driver looks a little thin. You seem to like though. How thick would you guess your seat padding is?

I don't really know about the seat's especifications except for it's width...
If I'd guess, I'd say 1 maybe 1,5 inches more than the standard street bob seat.
But it's more about how it feels in your bottom rather than the padding beneath it. And it feels good to me!
