I have the bare bones.. It's as hard as a rock and has no back support... but it's on a bar hopper.

Got a Silhouette solo with gel on my Train. Firm but comfortable.
I can stay in the saddle all day, no problem.

You feel it after more than 30 mins however it's the best looking seat out there.

I love this seat.&nbsp\\; 200-300 miles in a day and I can still walk.&nbsp\\; A little suffering is wortht he look and the slammed seating position!

I have the LePera Sorrento..a sorta 2 up cruiser type seat and both front and back are aces in comfort....just a great seat. Materials and workmanship are the best. It is my 4th seat on my Deuce and has been on over 7K...it is staying on. Does not look as "cool" as the bar hopper types....in fact it is an aquired taste largely driven by comfort. Form follows function generally ( or is the other way around? ) and a quick look at my signature website photos will clearly show that it is bigger than a bar hoppper and not nearly as "sleek"...but honestly, at my age the eyes in my butt aren't all that good.&nbsp\\;&nbsp\\; John
