I'm not sure if you're looking for info on a specific Le Pera, but I have a Le Pera Bare Bones on my 08' Street Bob. I have about 700 miles using the seat. So far its been pretty comfortable on long rides. The quality of the seat is pretty good as well. I know it's not much feedback but hope it helps.

I have the Le Pera Bare Bones on my '06 Standard
Love the look..
Comfort is better than the stock seat to me
Still....I enjoy a quick stop every 75 miles or so....
400 miles in a day is the most I've done on it so far..

I have the Le Pera Daytona Sport LT Series seat (LC-542S) and love it. It's well built, good looking and very comfortable. Highly Recommended

Hi Resolution

Thumbs up

Cool, thanks everybody. I was looking at the 2 up silhouette deluxe. GF is wiggling all over the place within the first hour with the stock seat and it aint doing me any favors either.

Good looking bikes everyone.

I have a Silhouette Gel on a '90 Softail and while it looks killer... it is PAINFUL! It is NOT a long distance seat.

I have the silo on my FXR. Much better than the factory badlander it replaced. Good for about 3.5 hours then a stretch is needed.

I had a LaPera on mine when I bought it, and it was like a plank! Got a Mustang now, 100% better.
