Solo Seat Woes...
Solo Seat Woes...
I currently have a LePera Bare Bones with "Biker Gel". I thought that the gel would make the seat more comfortable, but I swear, I think it makes it worse. I can't do more then about 100 miles at once, without my butt really hurting. I am constantly having to shift in the saddle, stand-up at lights, etc... after about 75 miles into the ride. I really love the look of the seat, but I have got to find something more comfortable. I don't want to use my Corbin 2-up all the time. I only like to use it for my extended rides of 250+ miles a day. Any suggestions on seats? I have looked at C&C, Corbin, LePera, & Mustang. All the seats look the same when it comes to the solo's, with the exception of the Mustangs. I REALLY hate the "Pillow-Top" look with the large buttons. I love the look of the Bare Bones, but I just wish it was more comfortable. Maybe I should try a seat without the gel insert. II have never sat on a C&C, any good? Suggestions?

Send your LaPera to Mean City Cycles for a memory foam rework for $40.

Have you tried one with memory foam Drew? What's your thoughts? I checked out that site, and memory foam is $100. The $45 package is just a reshaping of the currently installed foam. Sounds like some sweet stuff though. Might go for one. I really wanna hear about C&C, if anyone has one. How far can you ride normally, before you start hurting?

im suprised i thought the gel would be good, i like the look of the bare bones too, but they dont look comfy,the guys that have em say they are however??
my badlander gives me a sore butt and i would like a sleek solo,it would be between the bare bones and c&c, the later looks more comfy for mine?
