Currently running a BMC widowmaker, thinking Saddleman SDC or a Lepera Tailwhip for a bit more support. I have not seen Tailwhip in person, but have used Lepera in the past. Do not want to go with a BMC wall or Lepera Kick =flip, still need the passenger pad.
Thoughts, pro/ cons???

I put on the Danny Gray Airhawk Long Haul XL around this time last year. We've put 40,000 miles on it already since then and love it. Both sections have built in adjustable Airhawk pads. The passenger seat is low profile so its easier for her to tuck in behind me during bad weather and keeps the bike easier to control at slower speeds. And personally, I think the lower profile looks better. Many Iron Butt rides and long days in general on this seat. I've tried many high end seats and its my favorite.

Completed a 6500 / 25 day ride in June sitting on a La Pera sillouette seat - not a touring seat but it was still comfy. Should I ever need another seat for a bike I'll certainly look at what La Pera offers.
