Chaz I gotta say tho, lookin at yours compared to the pic of the 06+ on Lepara's sight yours looks much more flat. Where as the 06+ looks more like my C&C.
Dang Bro. Youre right. I didnt realize that. The Bare Bones for the 06+ bikes...Isnt quite as bare. What the fvck is up on that? Man. I hate the new ones. I would be thinking about the Danny Grey Buttcrack or the Hollywood as Story suggests.

06+ Bare Boner


Old Boner for 99-05



Those dont even look like the same seat....Wow.

Thanks... lol The Hollywood solo is supposed to form to you... So you gotta buy it new.
So don't buy a used one the break in would be formed to someone else. I trust the guy who told me that. And if I buy another seat that the one I'm buying.

I have the bare bones on my FB. As long as you know what you are getting yourself into, its great. Short trips are fine. After about 100 miles, its hard to stay comfortable. I really like mine. I found mine new on ebay for $150.

Flat? That thing is a black vinyl shop rag Bro! Thrown over the frame rails to take bad men good places......Or maybe good men to bad places? All I know is when there is a bare bones seat involved something is bad somewhere!!

Heres a better shot of the...Errrr Comfort?
Chaz,

It's a good thing I wasn't drinking a glass of my favorite beverage when I read this......

Dont mind me Shakey....I'm mildly returded!!!

On a side note...That buckskin seat of yours looks like a happy place.

A place for good men, doing good things. In comfort and style.

I just cant seem to get with the programme and get too comfy. Maybe I'm just a Masochist at heart.

I had a BB Solo on my '03 FXST for several years. I went to a C&C 2 up seat. Unless I just want to take pictures of the bike with a very low profile solo seat, I probably won't put it back on. I rode to Reno and back from north of Seattle and my butt hurt for a week. It made me not want to go on any long rides because of how uncomfortable I knew I would be afterwards. Maybe extended forward controls would help? Or have CC cut it down like someone else mentioned. In my opinion, the BB Solo is for looks or 30 minute rides.
