Default Reviews of Le Para seats?

I am looking at the LH-847, but reviews of any Le Para seats will tell me the quality to expect. I have not ordered yet, since I first would like to see opinions on this site.
Thank you.

I have a Cobra on my Softail and a Daytona on my Road King. I think the quality is very nice. They're not the cushiest seats around, but it would seem to me the more comfortable a seat is, the fuglier it is. Their Maverick model appears to combine both worlds decently though

They are well made and durable. Heavy, sturdy construction.

Ah, geez, I spelled the name wrong: Le Pera. For some reason I could not find the edit button.

I like my LaPera. Steel base and the covering is holding out fine after many years.

I am surprised that I don't hear more about them on this site. I'm guessing no news is good news.

The LePera Outcast seat I have is very comfortable, and after three years of use it still looks like new. I think a lot of people assume LePera seats are uncomfortable due to their Bare Bones model, but that seat is designed for looks, not comfort.

ps. Spring for the optional backrest, your back will thank you!

Hey Dynamick that's the one I'm considering. How's the seat height compared to stock?

Lots of Le Pera's and others only fit newer cycles. My choice for a 2006 was limited. I ordered the Le Pera LH-847.
