Took about 1500 miles to break in my bare bones. This summer rode from Cali to Idaho on it. Bought a Mustang vintage solo in Idaho. The barebones is a great seat for 45 min max but love the way it looks on the bike! Only have it on for spring and summer though. I think I have around 20,000 miles in the saddle with the bones.
Use a pillow? :-)
Even for me the Bare Bones has the look more beautiful.
But it's really uncomfortable after a while, especially on the softail.
The Bare Bones on the King was more comfortable.
I was hoping that the Brawler was better but from what I read not think so .... I do not know whether to buy ....
Whats the fixing with the C&C solo, I see the Bare Bones fix's with the 2 standard bolt fixings, but pic's i've seen of C&C's have had 1 fixing bolt at the back or none? (fitment on the Deluxe)

cheers Pal, was goin with a Bare Bones as I like one of their styles (Hot Rod Bel air) but noticed on here there's a guy "likestoride" who has a C&C with the same style? So now open to best price with best shipment to the UK. I'll contact them both now!

I have both the barebones in vinyl and the brawler in leather and the barebones is good for about an hour of seat time where the brawler is good for 2 or more a very nice seat. The barebones does look better but comfort is important when you ride all day not 15 min to the next bar

I've had both, and both are in my shed. The Brawler was bad, but the Lepera was a total concrete block.
I'm 5'10" and 240. I couldn't ride for more than 1 1/2 hours before being in trouble with *** burn. I tried a Mustang Vintage solo for the hell of it. They only cost a couple hundred, so it was worth a shot. Unbelieveable difference. I can literally ride all day pain free.
I know they're ugly, but I would rather ride without being in pain...
