Default Night Train Owners ?

Hey guys, need some help...I just can’t find any clear answers searching the forums so now I am desperate. Can someone chime in with options for a seat that will push you back !!! I know seats are personal when it comes to comfort so for now the hell with comfort let’s just find a seat that gives you more leg room. I have done the forward control extensions and now need a seat. I really need some help on this one, its pretty overwhelming all the info online so I thought I would just ask. Any advice, suggestions, pics or whatever would be a great help.

Cheers

You didn't say what year your bike is? Lepera barebones is what I have, Corbin hollywood would be my second choice... But I know for a fact the Barebones will bring you back a inch or two... and down the as well.

I've got a Saddlemen Tattoo solo. The Bare Bones is the way to go for absolute minimalist, but I wanted to have some seat in my seat, lol. Mines got some padding and gel, so doesn't really lower you all that much from the badlander, but does move you back about an inch or so. Overall I like it. Not the "coolest" or "most comfortable", but a good mix for me.

Rode from Vegas to the Grand Canyon last weekend and my a$$ didn't go numb, lol.

I heard the Mustangs wil usually move you forward, not back, but no first hand experience.

Good luck!
