RE: Le Pera seats

I have one of those Phantom Pads.My wife won't sit on it.It's a little thin.It's for a 9"fender, so if you want it cheap let me know.I have a Sundowner for my wife to ride.I put a white cotton t-shirt under it when I put it on so I don't scratch the fender.

08FXSTB,

One thing that hasn't been mentioned is that the LePera Bare Bones will slide you back about an inch. I'm 5'10" and am stretched out a bit (stubby legs). Something to think about.

One more thing...

I have the Bare Bones with a Passenger Pillion (suction cup) seat. I bought it (passenger pillion) with the biker gel and my wife likes it better than my stock badlander. The key to making this work is a detachable sissy bar. It makes all the difference.

Good luck.

Well i just bought the Up Front Bare Bones. it is supposed to push me forward 2 inches. Ashley at Le Pera said that if I don't like it to just return it. They seem like a very good company to work with. Where did you get your passenger pillion? Does it leave any marks or scratches on ur fender?

And that's one of the things that I wanted. I'm real picky about my seat and the way it looks and how I feel in it. Now if I could only find someething my wife could sit on...

RE: Le Pera seats

08,

Got it from a local father& son bike shop here. As stated above, keep your fender clean. I've had it for two years and have had no problems with it marking up my fender. My wife likes it because you can place it back on the fender. So, together with the sissy bar, she is in a more comfy position. I'm real happy with this setup.
