Just picked up a 2008 Deluxe yesterday I can't wait to get some pix up here. Pretty stock right now but I have plans. First thing is replacing the uncomfortable seat. I'm not a small fella standing around 6'5". I feel like I'm sitting on the tank any suggestions? I have seen some say the Lepera Barebones?? Any help?

I think the la pera bare bones will get you the farthest away from the tank and bars looks to be your best bet

Thanks Blown Hard, it's kind of a toss up right now between the Maverick Daddy Long Legs and the Bare Bones both from Le Pera. Handle bars are a must!!

LePera Sillouette here. A bit more padding and much more comfy than a bare bones. Sits you way back and down. I LOVE it. You really feel like you're part of the bike.
