I have a Lo as well and a Road King. I can put a solid day on the Lo but it isn't a long range bike no matter the seat. Bare Bones looks good on it, a plush saddle wouldn't.

I'm built like an ape with a short inseam, need to find a better saddle for the Road King that gets me low and is still comfortable for long rides.

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.

Thanks. I asked a lot of questions and commented on some of the designs they had on their site. They sent me additional pics of other seats they had done.

This was based on a design they had showed me of an alternate seat. I asked for some changes. Final step was to confirm they could fit the inlay pattern on Villain Solo seat.

They did a fantastic job.

I have an 03 dyna low rider and was considering getting the Lapera bare bones. However, I have forward controls with 14" apes and a 32" inseam. I need some suggestions on either getting the up-front bare bones version, or the regular bare bones. Any advice would be helpful.
