bare bones seat

Does anyone use the Lepera bare bones seat for distance riding? I know it is designed as a "bar hopper" seat but I love the look of it. Was wondering how uncomfortable it really is.

I've had LePeras on a few of my bikes & I can say this about them...They are the absolute best looking seats made, but also the most uncomfortable. I don't ride long distance (farthest is Daytona or Leesburg) so I go for looks. I put the stock seat back on when I go to Daytona.

I am looking at the bare bones with rider backrest and pillion pad. I am only 5'4" and 130 lbs so the low profile seat is what I think will work for me but I ride a lot so I need some comfort too.

I had one of an fxst, does look badass but not the most comfortable. I wasn't hurting while riding but u definitely have to keep moving around on longer rides, but wen u get off, it's like damn that's a good look seat lol
