Default seat comparison: bare bones vs tripper solo

Anyone who has experienced either of these two seats please let me know what you think. Also, how far back they sit you...how low do they sit you, etc. Which one is more comfortable in your opinion? Durablity, quality and how well do the fit on the scoot!

The search didnt bring up much on either.

I love my Bare Boneson my 05 Springer Classic. I find it to be at least as comfortable if not more than my stock seat due to the fact that it lowered me and brought me back a bit. I guess I'm super happy with the new position....now I can really stretch out with my extended floorboards. It lacks in lower back support....but that's to be expected, I've ridden 250 mile days and been comfortable.The stock seat will never see my bike again. I'm 6'0 and 180 lbs if that helps

Got the mustang tripper solo on order from Ronnie at Lewis Custom Cycles. I recently purchased a Mustang Plain Solo with backrest and wrote up a review after putting some miles the seat. I really liked the feel of the seat and would probably be satisfied if I kept it but decided to give the solo tripper a go and see which one I like best. The plain Solo was very comfortable but just seemed to push me to far forward. I'm also anxious to see how different the bike looks with the tripper solo as it is more of a low profile seat. I'll keep you posted once I get the seat and get a chance to give it a try. I'll also try to get some photos uploaded.
