LePera Gel, or Corbin

I am looking for a new seat, and looking at either the Bare Bones LePera Gel, or the Corbin Hollywood solo. Any experiences, comments, or complaints?

RE: LePera Gel, or Corbin

I can't really help you here at all other then to tell you I owned a Corbin Gunfighter seat for my Honda some years ago and thought the quality and comfort were outstanding. I also liked the fact that Corbins are made of leather and not some 'pleather'. I also owned a Mustang which was very comfortable but I wasn't crazy about the materials.

I hope someone else chimes in as well. I'd be interested to find out more myself.

RE: LePera Gel, or Corbin

I can say this. the lepera is all vynl and the corbin is leather upper. I rode my fatboy from NJ south through texas resting in California and comming back through sturgis this year on a Hollywood Solo seat, doing apox 12 days. no back problems whats so ever. I am 29 years old so I don't know how good is it if your an older gentleman.

I had both and choose Corbin all the way. I just did a bit over 1300 miles this past weekend without thinking about my butt once. I have the FastGunfighter

I have a LePera seat, its leather with gel pads, the leather is an option you have to request. I think its called the Sorrento.
Anyway, its good quality, as is the Corbin I believe.
What I can say is the customer service from Lepera is second to none.

Have had the LePera gel on here for about 4 years (Lots and lots of wet riding in Europe) and it has been great.

I went with the Lepera siloutte Gel full leather and love it! The quality is top notch and they are great to work with, they will make the seat any way you want (stiching, material, color, etc....). I was going to go with the bare bones, but wanted a little more cushion. I have mine on a 05 Fboy.
