[QUOTE=Dalt10;14935922]At the dealer today and one was there. I will be looking for the risers and dash too. It looks like the risers are taller. Here a few pics of things I noticed that were different.

Thanks for the pic of the risers! I thoughts that's what they were but hard to tell. That's exactly what I've been looking for!

LePera will have several models of seat available for the BO in April or May. I'm placing an order for one of LePera's new Cherokee seats when they become available. I hear good things about LePera but also that their seats tend to be somewhat "firm".

Anyone have experience with doing an OEM / LePera seat swap who can comment on the relative firmness ?

Thanx

So far, I'm just seeing this.

They do answer E-mails promptly though so you may wish to check with em directly. Owing to my tank lift/dash mod, they'll be sending me a Cherokee base plate for trial fitment and modification (by me) prior to building my seat. Maybe this is also feasible with an existing Bare Bones seat base or perhaps they do have a BO version planned already.

IMHO, that silhouette offers a slick "minimalist" look that I'd really consider if I were going that route. Click on the images in the above link for a series of illustrative pics.

"Alligator" !!

I wrote to them when I first started to look for a solo seat for my BO end of 2013. They answered they don't offer any but their research department is "currently" working on that topic and that they would come back to me soon....2 1/2 years later there still are no real solo seats available from them and I am still waiting for them to come back to me

My personal research department worked much faster than theirs and so did my production plant...

I was just curious if there was an official announcement.

Been waiting on my Sorrento from them. Was supposed to be early this month, now pushed back until April-ish. We'll see. Lady HATES the stock passenger seat, hopefully this is better.

That may lead to another type of "solo".

Good evening,

Can someone direct me to specs by year for the Breakout and the CVO Breakout? Mainly looking for engine sizes but would love to see changes to the CVO model each year.

Did it ever come from the factory with the 117, or is that always something that is installed after market?

Many thanks.
