I have the LePere Bare Bones. It take a little getting used to, but the look is killer. It is very narrow, so its way more comfortable with my feet on the ground. I'm 6'1. It lowered the riding position about an inch, which was what i was looking to do.
Its brutal after about 150 miles. But for short trips, its cool. And it looks great. Less than $200.

hard to tell from the pic, that looks like the smaller version 14 in seat. I had the 14 and i needed 17 for 2 reasons. more room for my fat @@ and because the front is wider it keeps my thighs from resting on the cylinder head when i stand so i dont burn. also feels cooler riding as more shield from heat

Hey Bob, is your seat wider or narrower than the stock Fat Boy seat? I noticed in the picture of the 14" seat that you took that the front is considerably narrower, almost too narrow looking for the tank. I guess I am looking for something that is narrower than the stock seat, allowing me to be flat footed when I am sitting on the bike, but also not so narrow that it looks strange where the front of the seat meets the gas tank. I also don't like it when seats look too big for the bike, which is how the Sundowner seat looks to me. Maybe some more pics of your seat with the pillion on, from the top and the side?

the pictures are of the 17.5 seat and i would say the same width as stock but much thicker. Mustang will let you try for 800 miles i think and if you dont like you can return. i would suggest looking at the dealers used bikes or your local hog chapter to see in person what they look like. i found with any seat until you put 300 to 500 miles you cant tell if you will like it. i had the c&c and you sit much lower and feels more like sport bike but after 100 miles it hurts. i have been told you can get a gel insert to make the seat better or spend more and get a corbin

I noticed that the part numbers are different but the dimensions are the same as yours. Mustang seems to have SO MANY seats and part numbers that it is difficult to determine which seat is the right one.
