Default Anyone running a LePera Cherokee?

Hey guys I wanted to see if anyone could give me a recent review of the LePera Cherokee. I am in need of a seat that gives me some back support but I don't want a seat back that sticks up. Thanks in advance.

I had one on a Sportster. I put over 27K miles on the seat and loved it.

Wish they made one to fit a 02 WG.

Great looking seat.
One thing that you need to consider is change in rider position... I had a seat that put me further back than stock and this one feels like I'm sitting a few inches closer to the tank...
Now I'm looking again. Seems like a seat that has the riding position, comfort and style I like is harder to find than the holy grail.
Someone should put together a Monty Python spoof.

I think a couple inches closer would be fine. I'm 6' but a couple inches might put my arms in a more comfortable position since I insist on having the bars upright lol.

The double diamond stitch is pretty cool too.

Cool looking seat, especially the double diamond stitching. Pity they don't make it for anny Dynas older than 2006.

Double diamond does look cool. I ordered the smooth but if I like it maybe I will get it re-covered.

Got the seat. I'll give it a review after a few days of riding.
