I have a LePera barebones..I love the way it looks, and the quality is GREAT. It's not a bad seat if you're not planning on spending over an hour or so on it..but this morning, I was reminded of how it will knock the breath out of you and feel like it's driving your spine through your neck when hitting a pot hole.

Really like my C&C seats - I have the Solo and the Sport Tour (for two-up riding):

ORIGINAL: SmokinEd

Man, tough to choose from. Anyone done serious time in more than one of these babies? Trying to find the BEST seat.

Opinions?

Smokin Ed
"BEST" for long long miles?? I can vouch my mustang wide vintage solo is the most comfy bike seat I've ever sat my rear on... The lepara silhouette bullet solo I had before was probably the hardest and narrowest... not made at all for long miles.. basically was a chopper barhopper seat. The mustang would be like a better made version but similar styling and shape to the OEM heritage seat. Vintage = plain braided edges fatboy-ish styling or the same is available studded.

My vote is for Mustang. I have them on all my bikes. Corbins I have seen and ridden on were all rocks. I know many have said they swear by them but I couldn't get beyond swearing at them for breaking my a$$......and my wallet. I have no experience with LePera so can't comment there.

Good info on never buying a used Corbin.

I have a Mustang sport solo w/backrest. I won't ride on anything else. I can ride for hours without the tired back/butt feeling. And I'm not all hunched over when I get off the bike.

Day rides are great on my Mustang Cobra. Haven't had a need to try anything else.

tail11,
Did the sport solo move you up or down / back or forward? I've got a 99 Fatboy & was told by Mustang that the sport solo would work better for me, (30" inseam),than the wide vintage solo. I need to move forward but not up.
