Default Le Pera bare bones alternative?
So I LOVE my bare bones seat, but on long rides, its just to damn hard....
Great for around town though...

So for you guys who like low profile single seats, what is the most comfortable without gaining height?

Any help would be great.
Thanks.

2 that come to mind are Danny Gray Butt Crack and Mustang Wide Day tripper.

Mustang is a bit more comfortable. Both are very sleek (danny gray being more down low than mustang).

I love my Wide tripper but I also think the brawler is pretty good.

1000km days easily on the mustang though.

I agree, the Mustang Wide Tripper is very comfortable for a low profile seat (Looks great as well).

Le Pera Daytona Sport. Put 8 hours of riding with it and could go more.

Love my Danny Gray. Is just hard to enough to not be uncomfortable and not so soft where it doesn't give any support, plus I think it looks pretty cool...

Thanks everyone! I think I am going to try the wide tripper and see where I end up. I love the bare bones, but its hell after an hour or two on these roads up here in the Sierras....
I greatly appreciate all the pictures as well, Thanks again!
