Default Le Pera seats

Anyone have the Le Pera touring seat on there ultra classic ? Likes and dislikes, picture looks great,seat looks really low in the front I like that. I don't like a lot of padding, had my stock seat dished out and I like it but Id like to upgrade looks like the the Le pera might be the way to go!

Ran a Lepera Monterey solo on my Glide for many years. Very well made, easy to work with them to get it customized they way I wanted it. Looked great, always got positive comments on the seat. The foam is stiff, a lot like a corbin. It broke in well and worked great for the time I had it.

I have the dakota(think that's what it is called)....wouldn't call it a distance touring seat, but i do like it. I believe if I sent it out to get gel'd.....I would use it for the longer rides.

sits me lower and back a bit....

I have the LePera continental on my rkc so maybe not totally applicable to the uc. 16" wide passenger pillion. Nice firm foam and it sits me a bit lower than stock. I really like it so far. If you like cushy and thick seating it's not for you.
