i have about a 30" inseam- i find the lepara with forward controls is a very comfortable leg position! and i stick in the lepara way better than the stocker. it has a deep dip that holds you well.

Glad you posted before I pulled the trigger on another seat. Any other short legged dudes use this seat? Any suggestions for alternatives?

32 inch inseam here.

i'm not reaching for my controls any more than i was on the stock seat

the bare bones is much more narrow so any further back you're sitting (an inch over stock at most) is negated by the fact that you don't have to wrap your legs around the seat to keep your feet on the pegs.

Hey guys... I just posted a bunch of photos of my bike with my BB on it with and without the matching pillian... Check out the album... I LOVE the look of the BB.. it did move me back about an inch... inseam = 32... Im thinking about addint the forward control extensions... Im just not quite where I want to be position wise... and I either have a fat or iron ***... Ive noticed no pain riding yet...

Cheers!!

Looking for a BB seat myself. I've been doing a little research online...
Are all the different BB seats compatible with the 2010 SB?

I saw that on their site, but I was looking at the other styles that are available too.

My sig has the BB up front. I like the seat, fits my short inseams short arms well. The up front adds a bit of padding in the rear to move you more to the stock riding position but lower. The extra padding also helps with comfort, as it pads the tail bone. Its a narrow seat. I use an air hawk on longer (2+hour) rides and it helps.
