Default LePera or Corbin ?

Hi,
Cant make up my mind. i need a seat that would drop me lower (on a 09 SE road glide) and provide some back support as well...
Any idea?

We have been putting a lot of La Peras on the new bikes. The seat is very very nice. If you want to go a little cheaper, the Sundowner works well.

If you want back support, I'd go with the Corbin and their backrest setup. Been using it for years, and it works great! Can't say much for their service dept. lately though.

I'd try these guys before going anywhere else. I just picked up a sport tour seat for my 2001 RG. It is very low profile and super comfortable right out of the box. They make a real nice handmade seat for the money.

I'd choose LePera over Corbin. I've had both, and the quality of each brand is excellent. LePera is a lot less $$$.

I had a Brawler seat at first and it was hard, but it did put you lower. The only issue there was NO back support. So then I bought this NEW seat from HD and I know it doesnt look as good as the brawler or some of the other's, but this seat is evrything I could ask for Back support, put's me lower and forward a bit. Now I feel good and in control so all I want to do is ride.
