No you broke it in, and over time it got more HP, well seats are like that too, you break them in and they get comfortable. Bashing a company like this is garbage. Lepera makes good stuff, and allot of their products are super comfy.

I didn't realize that my Le Pera Maverick was such a terrible seat. I wonder if they will take a return on my seat (with 20,000 miles on it)?

Actually if u retread the post I stated the 2 up seat. And it's an uncomfortable seat and I did research it. And yes I am new to the forum but have owned bikes for a long time this is the reason I never got into these things cause u people bash new guys without even knowing someone

There are multiple LePera 2 up seats. I have the Bare Bones which is on of the thinnest padded seats available and it seem to work fine for 200+ mile days. Maybe your *** is too sensitive.

I don't even know where to start with some of the **** you wrote here, so I'll just say enjoy whatever new seat you plan to buy, next time maybe use "It didn't work for me" instead of ripping a long established quality company because your *** can't handle giving a seat the proper break in time it needs.

Now if you would have come on here and started off by introducing yourself and then explaining your situation without bashing a very reputable company. Then proceeded to ask questions such as if anyone else may have the same seat and what are thier feelings about it and so on and so forth, the outcome would have been completely different. Now that being said, welcome to the forum. Not all seats are for everyone. You usually have to try different ones until you find one that best suits your a$$, riding style and one designed for the type of riding that you will mostly be doing. I myself found the stock seat on my Deluxe to be worse than the Lepera Bare Bones, for a few reason. The stock seat is wider at the front which caused soreness to the inside of my legs, it was very firm and it being designed for the more vertically challenged, it pushed me to far forward. The Lepera Bare Bones on the other hand is a narrower profile which helped the inside of my legs, the Lepera started off just as firm as the stock seat but after many miles I am positive it is softer than the stock seat and the Lepera being a low profile seat sits me lower and farther back than the stock which I find to be a perfect riding position. Hopefully you to will find a seat that best suits your preference.
