Solo Seat Arrives...
« on: July 01, 2006, 06:34:59 AM »

So, after many months, lots of photos from everyone on this great site, many telephone calls, lots of opinions and Net Surfing for countless daze...I received the solo seat from Bar Enterprises. Tell me what you all think. I have a special opinion on this one...

Got to tell ya, I was so excited to get my solo saddle back, I only took off for an hour or so. Two bars and two beers later, the seat still feels good. I know I have to get used to the solo style again. Butt (thats a pun folks) for now, I am much happier than with the stock seat.

I am just not too sure on the appearance yet. I will be more objective next post.

Hey altugo, long time no talk. Thanks for the comp. I think the real test of comfort is a few hours on the coast line; from my SFValley to like Huntington Beach. That trip is good for an hour and a half, if you hit the HWY 1 whenever you can. The road there is rough in some spots. If my ass survives the torture test of Pacific Coast Hwy, then it's a winner. If not, I'll go to another mfg of seats and negociate a new design. It feels damn good for now.

I will confirm this sometime today, however at this time I believe it is within a 1/2 inch of original stock height. I have been on the LePera two up custom seat for so long now, I almost forgot how great the low saddle height originally is. ]

It feels the same except the foam is the ultra dense melineum (can't f#*#ing spell that word!!)foam, or memory foam. Which in any case is much better than the fiber/redwood tree/foam the MOCO sub-contracts or OEM's out. I can say 10 times better, without doubt.
