Default Seat Question

I have been searching high and lo for the right seat for my softail slim. I really want to keep the solo look but my wife does ride with me a lot. I am currently on the kick of the LePera bare bones with their pillion. Pictures on their website of course are not of the seat on the bike. any one that owns this set up have some pictures for me? I want to see how big the gap is between the seats. I don't like the huge gap you get with the Harley pillion.

I went to the LePeea website and they DO show the seat with the pillion ON THE BIKE the gap looks to be about 1 to 2 inches

i'd also suggest you check C&C Seats. I just had their Solo seat mounted on my Deluxe. i'm loving the quality, the performance of their seat. Best thing is, you can easily add a pillion whenever you want.

Check a similar thread i started on this along with few pics @

Food for thought. Take your stock seat into a custom upholstery shop and get it done exactly how you would like to get it done. I started a thread a few months ago called Custom seats/Seat ****. Check it out, some nice seats there.
