LePera Sorrento/Maverick
Wondering if anyone around here has a comparison between the Sorrento and the Maverick. I'm 6' with a 32" inseam, and run Jay Brake forward controls on my Road King Special. I'm thinking a daddy long legs will likely be to far back for me, so I was looking at these two seats in regular form. I prefer LePera seats for their build quality plus I like a firm sculpted seat. I'm looking for all day comfort for myself, plus 4+ hour comfort for my wife. I think the Sorrento compliments the bikes lines more, but the Maverick looks to give a little better back support. Anybody that has sat on both, or has any strong feelings for or against either seat?

I have the Sorrento
...and like it. But I will get the Maverick in the future to give the wife another inch or two width, plus you can get the Maverick with a back rest which is not available to the Sorrento. I think the difference in size is offset by the fact they have the same shape and thus both will look good on the bike.

I just bought a Maverick in the classified section here to put on my 17 Road King standard. It puts me about 1/2" up and about 1" farther back from the regular factory seat. I've only put about 400 miles on it so far but it is firm and comfortable. I was hoping it would sit me a little lower but it didn't. The quality is very good though noticeably better than some of the other brands out there as well as the factory seat.
