Le Pera quality is top notch in my experience. I have a Silhouette solo and it is a great seat for day trips. They have a ton of options for looks and comfort so I'm sure you'll find something that fits your need.

I had a Maverick on my Deuce. Awesome seat. As mentioned, very firm, but comfortable. Also lowered me about an inch and moved me back about an inch. I wouldn't hesitate to buy another LePera. Although I have fallen in love with my Corbin on my Road Glide...

I have the Daytona on my Breakout. Same comments as above. Slightly firm but comfortable. 4 hours is about my limit on this seat. I have a Corbin on my Ultra and it is more firm.

I have a 34" inseam and 6'9" and have a Maverick Daddy Long Legs. The seat is definitely harder than stock. I have almost 15k on mine and it looks great, still is comfortable for longer rides. I also had an issue with the backrest bracket here recently and LePera took care of that and far exceeded my expectations.

For long haul rides I add a sheep skin to change the position and add a little more fluff to the seat.

Just arrived... They did a phenomenal job. 1st impressions are solid build quality - seams / stitching is flawless and the layout of the inlay pattern is great. They're paying attention to detail. And the seat is HEAVY. Just feels like high-quality right outta the box This was a complete, custom design and they worked with me on every element of the build. I'll post a more complete "review" after a few hundred miles.

Wicked looking saddle. LaPera is quality, stitching, symmetry, durability, starting with a steel pan. I've been impressed with all that I have seen.

I am dumbfounded by complaints of lack of comfort from guys who have a thin seat named 'Bare Bones'.

Did you give them a sketch and work it up? That is a very complex detailed design.
