Seats: Badlander vs La Pera
I am looking at buying a stream line seat or a solo seat for my 06 EGC for running without my tour pak. I narrowed it down to either a La Pera Solo (LH-005) or a Badlander (52265-01A)
I tried a corbin, and it was way to hard and couldn't ride it much further then 50 miles (in some serious pain). - I realize that I will not get the comfort out of either of these seats that I get from my Zeppelin, but I am looking for comfort an quality feedback on these 2 seats.
I am hoping to get something that I can ride on and get a good look without the pack.

Check out my thread on my new Mustang seat. It's Mustang comfy.
(I will never buy another Corbin)
and even though the La Pera Solo or a Badlander are great looking seats, I don't think they are all day comfy seats.

the bad lander is a pretty comfortable seat imo, i ran one for 13000 miles on my SG, but its not a seat for a passenger so thats why i moved to a CVO seat, have you looked into them? its super comfortable and its a 2 piece seat so you can choose.

Cant speak to the La Pera but I hated the 2 badlander seats I had on my Sortster and my Fatboy, for me not comfortable. Look at what C & C has to offer, good looking seats that you can put some miles on.

I've got the Lapera Aviator solo on my bike. It's a decent seat for the money. More comfortable than my stock seat (untill I had Mean City rework it). The Aviator sits me lower but is still a little wide in the front. I have a 31" inseam and still am not completely flat footed. I'm pretty happy with it.
