is that the standard bare bones? kind of looks like it moves you up a little vs. what mine looks like.
my bike is older, so maybe it's just the latest design?

i love the way mine looks, but it isn't the most comfortable seat.

It's the design for the 200mm rear end softails. The seat isn't quite as low profile as the 05s and earlier (I wish it was). It still sat me back a little further than the stock Badlander though.

The Bare Bones def looks cool, and is "comfortable enough" for local rides, which is about 95% of my riding. I'll be throwing the Badlander on for more distance travels.

Your ride looks killer, I have two LePera's and I like them both very much. The gel seat is the way to go.

I have the Bare Bones on my '03 Heritage for my solo setup. I opted for the gel insert, and regret it. Hope you enjoy the new saddle, and looks GOOD!

Any particular reason you regret it?

Ive been debating between the bare bones and silhouette and then have to decide on gel or not. I hear the gel just isnt worth the extra dough. Im leaning towards the silhouette because it looks a little more comfy and a lot of my rides are 50+ each way.

I had a non gel bare bones and hated it, I later came across a gel bare bones and it feels so much better IMO.
