LePera Maverick Daddy Long Legs
Just installed my new seat!!!! Here's a review with pics.
I am 6'-250lbs with a 34" inseam. I was thinking about getting extended forwards to stretch my legs out a bit...but I KNEW it was time to get a new saddle when after only an hour on the stocker my lower back started to hurt. After quite a bit of research (online-cuz nobody here i know has a 2-up custom made for the long haul) I got the LePera Maverick Daddy Long Legs seat with: gel, "Inferno" custom stitch in red thread, and a red label.
The Daddy Long Legs sets you BACK about 2" and DOWN 1". The regular Maverick about half of that; i think..
Because I wanted the custom stitching (I couldn't find it elsewhere) I called LePera direct. I dealt with Ashley in the sales department. She's great and can answer all your questions.
First impressions: The seat is WAY firmer than the stocker and the back part of the driver section is high enough to give you lower back support. This support really is great when settling in for a long day's ride... The seat is also narrower in front and allows your legs to move around a little easier. Also, can see more of my battery box, etc... And my legs are in a perfect position (a little straighter) on the pegs; so no need for those extended forwards!!
The little lady DEFINITELY digs the big passenger seat!!! It's WAY more comfortable-and it's not angled down; so she doesn't slide off when I accelerate.(adding a sissy bar next to help with this as well)

I put on the HD Tallboy seat for a few rides and didn't like it one bit. It was way to big, chafed the paint on my tank/fender/Bat box and ECU cover! It sat me back 2'' and up 1''. Totaly changed the ride. Took that off and bought a LaPera Sport seat off CL. Now, it definatly is not made for the long haul. But it looks better and feels pretty good for under 100 miles.
