Lepera Bare Bones on my Deluxe
Well I've put about 500-600 miles on the bare bones and so far, I have to say it's amazingly comfy for me (5'7", 130). Maybe it has something to do with being scrawny and flat-assed, but it felt great even on a longish ride to Joshua Tree and back (about 325 mi). Definitely not plush, even with the gel pad, but if you like a firmer seat, the bare bones rocks.
I bought it to be the around-town seat, with no saddlebags (although I haven't taken the bags off since I bought them -- they're so convenient).
Then I'll use the bags and stock seat (which is at Mean City Cycles right now) for longer rides.
The build quality and fit and finish, I think it looks great!

Dude that looks killer on yer' scoot.
The comfort issue is without a doubt tied into the scrawny and flat assed thing. I'm 6" 235 and my Bare Bones is like a torture device. My *** gets numb and sore....My lower back hurts.
I figure the price of cool can be high at times as I cant bring myself to take the fvcker off the bike! I'm fighting through the pain dag-nabbit!

Yep that looks perfect, best looking seat for softails IMO. I want to put one on my night train because it has the best transition to the rear fender. I'm scared though that it'll be just as Chazmanian says and end up being "a torture device".The fact that I have ample cheekage might negate the fact that they weren't built for ultimate comfort.

Bike looks really nice! Seat's one of the most important features on the bike. But I guarantee that eventually...you'll secome to comfort and get a seat that lets you ride without pain over a seat that looks good when you're not sitting on it.

My ample cheekage and lowerback scream in agony after a few miles....Few more miles my *** is beyond numb.
I'm riding through the pain. What wont kill me can only make me stronger. By the end of summer my spine will be fused into a "C" shape and my *** will be permanantly numb....Then I will no longer feel the discomfort?
Fvck waterboarding. Strap the fat assed terrorist's like that Koksuckah KSM on a Le Pera bare bones seat for a few hours.
They will tell us everything we need to know...And some chit we dont wanna know too!!

Thanks for the comments, everyone. Having read plenty of posts about this seat before I bought it, I fully expected the worst. But I've been pleasantly surprised.
