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

oh boy, here we go again....

Buy one, any padded 2x4 board and find out for yourself...
After an hour, you'll say.. Duh, I never got the concept of common sense...

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.

LePera Bare Bones Custom. I thought it was going to be uncomfortable, but I was really surprised - it's more comfy than the stock seat for me.
