Default Le Pera silhouette or badlander

What's up fellas, trying to find a seat that sits me lower into the bike and further back. Just thought I'd see which one between these two you all would prefer. Thanks for the help.

I had a badlander on a dyna sport and currently have the LePera silhouette on my street glide. I liked them both but do prefer the carpetted underside of the LePera for protecting the fender. paul

I switch back & forth between the stock seat & the Badlander on my 2010 Ultra, depending on if I am 2 up or not. With the stock seat my knees are slightly bent with feet on the highway pegs, with the Badlander I really have to reach for them, so it will set you back quite a bit further & does sit alot lower than stock.

I'm leaning towards the le Pera silhouette, just wanted the one that could put me the lowest and the farthest back. Anyone sent a le Pera to mean city cycles?
