Default Solo Seat

I am looking at the lepera Solo seat for my 06 Standard. Has anyone used this seat and should I buy the gel seat. I want a comfortable seat that is sits low on the bike. I'm 6'1" and find my current seat is too high.

I really dig my Mustang Sport solo with detachable back rest. Very comfortable ride.

waygen...I have a Lepera Sillouette gel solo with the matching pillonif you are interested. It doesn't fit my 07 nightrain but will work great with your 06 tail. I bought it on ebay not knowing it won't work on the 07 bikes and it's great shape. PM me and I will send photos if anyone interested.

Depending on who you talk to youll get different answers on the gel. Corbin doesnt use gel seats because according to them it develps hot spots and doesnt breath as well as foam. Lots of guys think gel is the way to go, personal preference.
