Le Pera seat questions
I've been eyeing up the bare bones solo and the Silhouette solo seats. Is there a big difference between the two and what's your opion on the seats? I'm kinda worried about the seat pushing me forward then I'll need to pickup a forward exstension kit.
Thanks fellas

I have a Bare Bones on my Slim. It didn't change my seating position compared to the stock seat. It's just a bit wider and has more support coming up the rear than the stock seat. I put over 500 miles on it a few weekends ago, and I never had an issue with a sore butt, which I thought I might. I have no complaints at all with the seat.

I had a Bare Bones and currently have a Silhouette on Softails. On Softails, both seats sit you back and down from stock. In my opinion, the Bare Bones is only good for "bar hopping" or trips under 100 or so miles (think carpet on plywood). The Silhouette is a step up and more comfortable. However, the Bare Bones does look really cool. SJ Ron

My point is that the seat is not limited to just bar hopping. The seat is fine for a longer ride. This is definitely dependent on other things, such as leg positioning on pegs or floorboards, how far you have to reach for the bars, how much you weigh, how big your *** is, how much fat is on your *** no matter the width, suspension, and I'm sure there are plenty of other things I'm leaving out.

Had a Bare Bones on a 2013 Street Glide and could not believe how comfortable it was . I will buy one for the Breakout when available

There are always a few who disagree on the comfort of the Bare Bones. I have had a dozen seats over the years and the Bare Bones was the least comfortable. SJ Ron

Thank you guys for the input. I want a solo seat but I'm currently running the stock king and queen seat. Comfortable but not the look I'm going for. The Feicenc'e has absolutely no tensions to ride at all so Ive been throwing around a few ideas weighing the cost and total outcome.
Oh I never knew a wedding could cost so much.
