Default Bare Bones = to what?
Is there a comparable seat to the Le Pera Bare Bones that is just as good?

Don't really care about the name brand and I hear they are not that comfortable. It does have the streamline look that I want though. I've seen it on you other guys bikes. That being said, is there a seat that is very close in size and shape, that doesn't have a $200 dollar price tag hanging from it?

I just lowered my bike and kept the barebones. Took my mind off of the seat issue with no suspension

just go with the barebones.

i don't care if la-z-boy custom makes you a seat, you still can't outride your gas tank, so you'll be getting off the bike every 150-200 miles anyway
