Default Mean City seat mod

I like my Heritage stock seat but I think it could be better. Thinking of having Mean City Cycles do their memory foam modification. This will narrow the seat in front and move me up about an inch. Has anyone had this done to the stock Heritage seat? Opinions?

I had them mod my stock seat. I had them narrow the front, double decker memory foam on mine,lower me just a bit and sit me back a little more. They also added a tailbone channel. I can say I am very happy with it and would do it again.

Is this something new?

I don't see that option on their website. Could you share some info on this mod? How much and what it looks/feels like? I've heard nothing but good reviews of having a tailbone channel.....

I was thinking of doing the super narrow on my Ultra, if they now have a tailbone channel, it'll be the push I need to start this process rolling.....

Thanks ...

I had no idea that they offered it until I called them. I explained to them what I wanted done and even went as far as to send them a pic of how I am seated on the bike while riding. They did a great job and I am very satisfied after the break in period.

Couple of pics of the finished seat.

After

I've had 5 different seats done by them, and each one has been excellent.
