I've got the Bare Bones on my 06 Bob. Looks good, rides pretty rough though. Check my gallery for some pics.

I run a Lepera Monterey solo on my FLHT with a seperate pillion for the Mrs. Went with thier "foam program" which means they custom carved it exactly the way I wanted it and then covered it. After 14 bikes and running Corbins, Danny Grays and multiple Mustang seats, the customer service and customization offered to me by Lepera has been top notch and I'll be sticking with them.

+1 Lepera. I had the King Cobra (it gave it's life to be sent to Roberti Customs for a hand-tooled leather seat). However, it was awesome, and much cheaper than Corbin. I was happy with their customer service, also.

Thanks all. I order the 2 up Silo deluxe. I didn't want a lot of seat, just a little wider especially in the back. Will probably get a solo of some kind later as the only distance riding I do is usually alone. Stock Badlander scratched my paint too. It's gotta go.

I had a Le Pera BareBones Gel on my 08 Fatty to lower the seat which it did quite well. Problem was is that I could roll over a dime and tell if it was heads or tails.

I went to an HD Sundowner and couldn't be happier. Almost as low as the BB and more comfy, IHMO.

I have disassembled a couple different La Pera seats for reupholstery, and I can say that they really are a quality product inside and out. In my sig pic I am sporting some old type of barebones that I was told would fit a panhead. My latest seat is another mystery Le Pera that I think may have been a Cobra. Anyway, I'm rambling, but they are good seats.

Le Pera

I have the Daytona 2 up smooth with "biker-gel"on my 04 Low Rider, and find it 100% better than stock, I've ridden for hours at a time with no problem.
