Just bought new bike that came with a Le Pera Silhouette, I think, and it sucks imo. I can't believe someone would pay over $300 for a seat that uncomfortable. I love the low pro look, but can't deal with the discomfort. What stock seat can I find that will fit a 93 Fatboy and still maintain a somewhat low pro style? I've read the softail standards work well, but up to what year? I tried a seat off a Deuce, but it was way too wide. I can't afford an expensive seat right now, so I'm looking to find a stock takeoff from somewhere. My last bike was a Heritage, so I'm used to comfy, plush pillows, but wouldn't ruin my new bike with a seat like that. Can someone confirm what seat I have. I didn't see any labels on it. What other options are out there? I have more important things to spend money on right now, so a new take off would work fine for the long trips while keeping the La Pera for bike shows and what not.
Ps: no offense to anyone who likes their Silhouette seat....
