Which seat? Le Pera or C&C
I thought I had finally narrowed down which seat I wanted for my 06 Deluxe. I was certain I wanted the Le Pera Silhouette (basically a bare bones but a little wider and slightly more padding) then talked to the Dr. and the Dr. perscribed a C&C LoPro solo.
Has anyone else have any experience with the C&C LoPro solo or any of the C&C seats?
If you have used both the C&C LoPro solo and Le Pera Silhouette that would be even better.
Thanks,
Chuck

I personally like Le Pera's styling a little better, but they are also a tad more expensive. Comparing their entry level solo seats, the C&C looks a little more bulky to me, whereas the Le Pera is more sleek. Checking out their (C&C's) custom jobs, though, it looks like they can be customized pretty much any way to your liking. Just depends on how much you want to spend. I would personally go with Le Pera, just because I would be able to find what I want from their stock line w/o spending much extra.

I would have to say it depends on what look your going for. I think the Corbin classic gives more of the nostalgic look and the lepera more of a custom look. I am ruig the corbi classic with studs I am sure there are guys on the forum that have the Lepera. I do not know of the CC

There is more to consider than looks with a seat. I have not ridden a LaPera barebones, but they do look great. However, I spend many hours in the saddle of my ride and find my C&C LoPro solo extremely comfortable and it looks great too. I'd rather kill 2 birds with one stone, comfort and styling. If I conly cared about looks and not comfort my bike would probably look a bit different, maybe even better, but I find comfort more than a fair trade off.

The main problem is very few if any of us have ridden with both. I'll have to see if LaPera will let me borrow a seat for a while. They are right down the street from the shop. I need a fair comparison.
