LaPera seat.....
Physics.
The thinner the padding and the narrower the seat, the more pressure per square inch. I don't care what people say about the bones, or any of the sweet looking and trim LePera, it's not going to be comfortable unless you have a mushy fat ***.
This one's for sale if someone wants it. It's a 100% leather Silouhette DeLuxe with tribal stitching in black, never saw rain and bike's always garaged.
Paid $425.00, lookin for $250.00

Buy one, any padded 2x4 board and find out for yourself...

This is my Regapl Plush (I like the old school look, GREAT Back Support, wife loves it , and I can go one for days on it)
This is the BareBones, maximum 2 hours in a row (which I never do) and around 5-6 hours per day is going to be on the not too comfortable side, but you get used to it I guess .. the low seating position gives amazing feel for curves, I love the almost hockey skating feeling I get on the ramp on this one
Ughhh.. where did you get your seat stitched like that ? it looks SUPER !~

I don't think that I have a pic of it anymore
but it looked this and it was a Maverick 2 up..
I have an opinion of it too.
It was the hardest seat that I have ever had on my former softail and it lasted 1 ride and was taken off and was happily sold.
Never the less, learned my lesson and it(LePera) will not be repeated.
It was like sitting on a board with a light pad on it and a covering.
Horrible, horrible, horrible.
