Bought a Corbin Classic Solo off this forum a few weeks ago for my 2015 LR Waiting for locking hardware to arrive. Will post pics and review after install.

Seems like most LR have changed their seats. I think I am one of the few still using the factory seat. Compared to the seats on my previous sport bikes, which were nothing but a little pad, the LR seat feels like a Lazy Boy to me. I can only imagine how comfy the aftermarket seats are.

I recently changed the Leather Badlander for a custom C&C SportTour, with the gel inserts. Man. Night and day difference! We did 300 miles last Saturday, and I could not believe it! The wife hated the Badlander, she got a bad case of monkey muffin

Love this seat!

I am a solo rider and I rarely go over 100 miles in a day.

My friend just finished detailing the LR. He use to manage an Auto Spa and really knows the Art of the Detail.

Very happy having finally removed the bolster from the stock seat. Still trying to decide on an upgrade between the LePera Daytona 2Up and the Mustang Vintage One-Piece or Regal Duke.

That is definitely the best looking two up seat I have seen to date. Looking good.

You guys talking about details makes me want to do it or have it done.

Been riding quite a bit lately with the nice weather and loving every minute of it. Little 45 minute trek after work today in mostly stop and go traffic with ET hitting 307* and Temp on my oil dipstick gauge showing 263*. Ambient was 80*. Thinking hard about an oil cooler or the mighty mite fans. Hate how those damn fans look but it's greater than that... I like the hidden feature of the oil bud oil cooler but not quite convinced it is the best at its job on the market, plus the price tag is steep.

The bike is looking sharp! How're you liking the LD seat? That's my next upgrade and it'll be great if it pushes me a bit forward.

Thank you. That is actually the BMC the wall seat. They do look very similar. The wall pushes you back about 1.5" versus the stock FXDLS seat. I think their website suggests one being 5'10" or greater for the wall seat.

I believe I have read on this forum that the LD seat does push you forward a bit. Think saddleman makes a seat too that has the same look and pushes you forward a bit as well.
