I am considering either a Le Pera Cobra or Cherokee seat for my Road King. I was hoping there were some Road King (or other touring bike) owners out there with pictures and insight. I am buying the Le Pera for looks, not comfort. Thanks.

 

Here is a picture of my bike with a C&C Sport Tour seat. I will keep this seat for 2 up and longer rides. Since this picture was taken I have added a SE high flow AC with classic round cover, round horn cover, black and polished teardrop front rotors, and SE Fatshotz mufflers. I am trying to give the bike a little old school chopper flavor.

 

Subscribing....I've been looking at these same seats due to the higher straight back.....lower back support needed from spine surgery.... and look. You mentioned you were going for looks instead of comfort. I don't know much about LePera seats and haven't seen much on them form searches. Are they not very comfortable?

 

I bought a Le Pera cherokee for my last bike, which was a wide glide. Looked really good, but was the most uncomfortable seat I ever had. Felt like I was riding directly on the frame. Le Pera is just for looks imho.

 

I have heard that Le Pera seats are uncomfortable. If they are really that bad then maybe I will consider something else.

 

I have a bare bones Solo on my chrome ***** FB and yes after about 30 min u need to stretch but the Monterey with backrest on my SG is a whole different story. Can ride for hours and its great.
