Another for MEAN CITY, but you can also go to most local shops and they should have pictures of seats they have done.
Those that do a lot, like Mean City, know exactly how to fit and form and what combination should be best for you. They can also move you up, down, forward, and back,

I had a seat re-done by this company. Very nice job.

How many miles since install? Of more than a few hundred, how does the memory foam comfort compare to the stock seat? I'm considering almost a duplicate of yours [maybe in brown] for my Amber Whiskey Ultra.

LOL! They say it's their most popular pattern. I haven't had a chance to really put any hard miles on it yet. The roads have been pretty nasty since I put it on. Not to mention, my work schedule. They have a pretty good selection of picture's on Facebook. Their website doesn't really have the pictures. I know that the seat is harder, for now, at least through break in. It also feels a little weird to me, to be lowered, and, what feels like, further forward. The Mustang seat, really moved me back, and I got used to that. Learning curve, I hope. I'll report back later, after I've had more time on it. I do know, though, if you like the position of where you are now, tell them not to change it.

I got to take it out for a little while yesterday. There's absolutely no hot spots now. Definitely cups my *** better, and, supports my back better.

Despite sounding counter-intuitive to me, I read somewhere that firmer seats are more comfortable in the long run. I would have thought softer. And BTW, yes the lowering issue is a big concern of mine. I'd rather stay at my present height. Thanks for the advice to keep it constant. I'm glad your seat is working out for you.
