I have a la pera barebones for solo riding, love the seat looks wise but not the most comfortable thing.

Thank folks,
I think I'm going with Corbin close seat. They are able to embroider it for me. I faxed them over a pic of what I want. It will push me up 2 inches and it's an inch and a half shorter in width. Sounds good for me. I also get pushed back when I accelerate and I don't use a couple of inches of my back seat. So I'll keep you posted.
MJ

Also contact user BadX and he can make the seat you have now however you want it. I've heard nothing but good about his work...

Mustang makes good seats for less money than Corbin

I'm 5'4" and I don't slide back as long as the pillion is on...plus it gives me back support. I have 30" inseam and can reach shifter ok.
