Default Seat mod question.

I am borrowing a seat you did for a friend to test it out and it feels much better than stock. My wife likes the way the passenger seat feels better too but would like to have it made wider. Is this possible?

2007 Ultra

I haven't ever widened a Ultra seat before but we can make it a little wider.

Thanks,

Ok, that's great. I need to get my seat back from my friend and I'll send it in.

One more question, I purchased a couple of memory foam/gel pads from Air Rider
http://www.airrider.com/store/product.php?id=61
http://www.airrider.com/store/product.php?id=66

My question is, could they be installed into the seat to help with overall comfort?
My thought was to carve an area out of the reshaped foam and put the pads in so that they are flush.
If you think this will help I can send the pads with my seat.

Thanks.

I am sure those products are good but we can only guarentee the products we use and our modifications are base on the use of these products. Not knowing the limitations of the ones you purchased we would have to develop modifications to work with those for best comfort and right now time doesn't allow that...sorry man.

Thanks,

Alright, that's OK. I'll send the seat when I get it back and let you know what I want done.
Thanks.
