- Here's another manufacturer from the Born Free show. Great family. The LePeras have been in business making seats since their dad started the business back in 1972. Bob Senior is gone and certainly not forgotten. Bob Junior and his sister Christine are still at it making great stuff and giving great service.

There were 3 companies which supplied the seats for my bikes: Bates, Corbin/Gentry and LePera. Great American-made products! I'm glad LePera is still in business! Thanks, Pacific Mike and Christine LePera.
Thank You.

@@cameramanmike2072 -- Hi Mike. Keep those informative videos coming.
Some great looking seats Mike California has so much to offer in the industry
Thank You. I'm sure glad to be here today.
👍🙂
I just put a LePera on my ‘01 fxst - I ran the stock seat for 22 agonizing years, and now the LePera is magnificent. The seat molds to my back-end much better and has all but eliminated by consistent tail pain from riding. It was very well crafted. I won’t use any other seat going forward
Cool. They're a great family making great products.
It doesn't get any better. I've had a number of them through the years. What a genuinely nice lady she is. The biker relationships you make through the years are so very special. Thanks Mike!
Couldn't agree more! Thank You.
👍🙂
Very Cool Mike. I'm glad to hear that they are still making seats on Lankershim. Thanks for putting this up.
You bet
Nice to meet the vendors Thanks Mike! 👍😎👍50 years is awesome!
Sure is!
👍😁
@@cameramanmike2072 Great Job Cameraman Mike! 👍😎👍
I have been using LePera seats exclusively for 36 years. I remember my dad and I riding out to see Bob in N. Hollywood around 1988. He would come out the back door and talk with us about cars and bikes as we placed our orders for one of his awesome seats. A week later it would be ready for pickup. He was such a nice guy. I recently bought an all leather seat for my 2006 Springer. The same excellent quality. Thanks Christine and Bob jr. for keeping the tradition going!!
Thank You. You said it so well.
I've bought their stuff thru the years and must admit "this is the good stuff"!.....david
Yep.
👍🙂
I had a 97 lowrider with a LePera seat, and I could ride all day . Best seat I ever had on any of my bikes !!!
I'm sure of it.
👍🙂
AMAZING! Thank you, Mike, for vid!
Glad you enjoyed it!
👍🙂
I put one of those seats on my Heritage Soft Tail, I love it! Great products folks! Good to see you Mike!👍
Thank You.
When rebuilding my ‘91 Classic, the crowning touch was a La Pera Maverick Daddy Longlegs. Love it!
Cool.
👍🙂
I have the Monterey Regal Plush with the gel pad and fringe. The same for the passenger seat but no fringe on it. They didn't offer fringe on the rear seat but it's extremely comfortable when I'm racking up the miles. Love my seat, Thank You La Pera...
Thanks for sharing!
👍🙂
mike you REALLY do not need to worry so much about background noise. your microphone setup is fantastic and its NEVER a problem hearing you (even with that bike going off here)
Cool. Thank You.
❤️💯❗👍🙂
@@cameramanmike2072 i just wanted to thank you for your work. you two work so perfectly together in silence. you guys have really figured out how to do these videos with an almost unspoken choreography and its impressive.
@@87cigs I dig pacific Mike. He's like Family to me. Known him for as long as I can remember. Love his demeanor and focus , he hardly get upset with me I think he's giving me more chances than many. That's giving me the chance to learn. Thank you so very much for the compliment. 👍😊❤️💯❗
LePera manufacturers the best looking seat for a shovel..the Maverick…trully a beauty
Yep
🙂🙂
I really like my LePera gel ✌️
And, there you have it.
@@pacificmike9501 bought my first one back in the eighties
And Bob Senior made it for you. Bobby and Christine are just like him. I'm sure he's very proud.
My buddy just got a used street glide with a lepara seat...I didn't want to park the bike!! That's how good the seat was
👍😊💯❗
LePera been my go to seat for many years. They’re the most narrow for and just the right profile for seat to handlebar comfort. Thanks for posting.

I ride with a solo bare bones seat on my RKS, its my second one, first was on my 98 softail. Now looking for a good two seater, but I'll be sticking with Le Pera - great seat, great quality
Thank You.
1987 I was 20 and doin my first laggin in BOGGO ROAD PRISON Queensland
Sorry about that.
Christine is a total babe!!😎
She is one nice lady. And yes, she is very attractive.
🫢🤫😁
Good evening Mike and Mike . How are you ? Thank you for this video.
Thank You. All's well. And hope all's well with you.
@@pacificmike9501 All is well here, thank you
👋😊
I had flat LePera seat on my softail Evo. It's much more fasionable than comfortable :)
They have quite a selection.
Ask them to reshape it. NICEST People you are ever going to do business with 👍🙂
@@cameramanmike2072 I sold this HD to Romania. New Owner is 1%er. He was very happy from this seat. I ride on HD in Poland.
Dang I want one
They produce high quality stuff. I put them on happy customer's bikes for years and years.
5:48 thanks for video, Mike. love my Corbin gel, much better than my Corbin. Do you recommend anything to get rid of boot scuffs on seat?
Boot Cream from your local shoe repair.
@@pacificmike9501thanks a million. I misspoke earlier, I meant my LePera gel seat.
Yes indeed, total babe.....
I've done business with Christine, her brother and her father for many years. Yes, she is very attractive and a genuine nice person.
Hey Mike...tell LePera to answer their emails.
Okay. I usually call on the phone.
🤔😊
what happened to the big flattie rebuild, did i blink and miss it?.
We're getting caught up with everything else screaming for attention. We'll get there soon.
@@pacificmike9501 the only thing tha needs attention is that 80" ;D
Wrong. Panhead, Shovelhead, Knucklehead, car. All of these things must be maintained.
🙏💪👌👍😊
Good morning, please forgive a slightly dumb question from the rolling fields of English horse-country; has anyone over there ever fitted a full 'Western Saddle' to a bike? : )
Funny you should ask. I thought about it yesterday. I wish I had a picture. Years ago, I had a customer with a Shovelhead Wideglide in Santa Maria California. That's real cowboy country. He had a full-on western horse saddle on it. Quite a sight on West Main Street at eighty mile an hour.
Brilliant! - cow-horn bars, stirrup clutch & a pommel shift? - perfect for the flathead - ask Christine the Gorgeous, & then say "You'd do it for Randolph Scott!"
She'll melt; trust me . . . I'm English : )
I really appreciate the theme. But, I'm still hung up on the "dream." I always wanted to be an old biker with old bikes and a California history. I was never even a surfer (though I spent many years at the beach). I was actually born an old biker. I know bikers who are cowboys and bikers who are fishermen. I'm just what Hal Robinson always called "Scooter Trash."
Nice dream. I grew up between two rural RAF stations & wanting to ride a Manx Norton in the IoM TT races. Heroes? Joey Dunlop, Graham Hill & Dr. John Hinds (check him out, the man was quality - 'More cases from the races - John Hinds', is a good intro vid.)
Cartoonists? Ron Cobb, Gary Larson & whoever did the 'Wizard of Id'! : )
We've lived in a great time with great "Heroes." And, they were and are, "approachable." Oddly enough, those stiil around occasionally show up at the Long Beach Ca. Motorcycle Swap Meet. My old friend Alan Spears, actually had a Norton Manx that he raced in the sixties. Willow Springs, Carlsbad, Stardust in Vegas, Riverside. My dad used to ride around Pasadena with the Milne Brothers in the thirties. I really love all the machines from those times. They had a romance about them that modern technology cannot duplicate. I managed Alan's racing and the early Honda race bikes are still sounding magically in my head. We actually raced for Kawasaki 'til I got in a hassel with them. Ah, the sixties.
I found a third Jim. I WANT SEAT WITH RED THREAD FOR MY ROADKING, Please. 👀
They'll make one for you.
@@pacificmike9501 Mr. Mike, I WOULD REALLY LOVE AND APPRECIATE THAT. If I could somehow persuade you to build me a twin evo to the other Jim in your spare time. I would have saved 20,000.00 👀🙃🙂. And Hey, I am not rich yet. So an extra 5,000.00 to help with grocerie’s is a BIG DEAL to me you idk. P.S. I have my own air cleaner. STROKER EVO, NEVER FORSALE MIKE MADE IT FOR ME, 🙂
Quite a compliment. I have one for you. I believe you'll be rich soon.
@@pacificmike9501 No Joke, I am serious the old man want’s me to send the motorcycle to California. I could keep it at the Shop, and I have saved the money for a New Motor. I just would have never thought our communication’s would have ever come so far. I am a serious man. I would keep it and maintain it. IDK, Please consider it as an option. I Appreciate your lesson’s and still learn. Thankyou Mr. Pacific Mike. Thankyou, James. Maybe Irene, could help me to introduce myself and meet up with you when your out somewhere in Cali. 🙂
👌👍😊
Blue stitches for a deuce
Okay.
On my baggers, always found the stock seat accommodating, chunk of sheep skin & good to go. Ridges, prefer La Rosa. Good video!
Thank You.
🙂
First !
Yay!
👏👍😊
would have been nice to see the seats instead of history
They're easily found. Just Google LePera Seats. I'm not here to sell seats.
I bet they cost a F fortune
Nope.
