The very first modification I made to a motorcycle was to remove the stock mattress seat off my new ’69 XLCH and replace it with a Diamond Buttons Cobra seat from Le Pera. I’m on the hunt for a stock ’69 Sportster to replace it, but I would still mess with a totally stock bike and add the contoured Le Pera Cobra seat. It made all the difference in the world to the looks of a stock bike.
The bike shown here belongs to Bob T. the Bikernet Chopper Editor, who bought a new ’71 Super glide and built this bike over the years. Back in the day we all wanted rigids and the first thing we did included swapping out the stock un-useable seat for a solo. No one makes more traditional sprung and unsprung seats better than Le Pera.
As we got older some of us shifted to a larger solos, or even cop solo seats, but we stuck with solos. Even today most rigids run some sort of solo seat for the best fit for the solo rider. Okay, so some of us bastards run a pillion just in case.
