Funny....riding back roads I can ride my Bare Bone all day with out any comfort problems. But get me on the highway and I'm squirming to keep my *** comfortable after a hundred miles.....changing foot positions and seating positions and all...thank god for floorboards. Sometimes I think it's a boredom thing.

I've been running the Brawler for the last few days, so far so good on the rear end, way better than that stock Train seat.
Not as low pro as the BB but looks pretty good.

Had the BareBones for one riding season, sold it and got the C&C Solo. Much better IMO

IMHO, there is no better looking seat on the market than the bare bones...it flows with the lines of the bike better than any other seat I've seen.

Now, you do pay a price for a seat that hugs the frame and fender as close as the BB...but it's worth the pain! For me, if comfort was numero uno on my list of bike traits, I'd be riding one of the glides and not a softail right?!

6 ft here... It's not a comfortable seat. Tail bone safe but cheek burn..... but.... Bare Bones 4Ever and I too can only go 100 miles before the burn kicks in but dam it looks so badass..... low and in the pocket... Just know what you're getting your butt into with a BB.
