Default LaPera seat.....
Thought it may be a decent idea for people who have lepera seats to post up a pic and their thoughts on it....So let's see those LePera seats!

It's the HD one but I screwed it all up. Tried to match it with the seat and didn't turn out so well. Going to try one thing before i get a new one.

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
