Default seat options?

Looking for seat options\suggestions for my 14 Ultra Limited. The back middle of my seat feels like it has a little hump in it causing a bit of a numb feeling for me. Seems to me it would be more comfortable with a dip there rather than a hump. Also wouldn't mind if it maybe wasn't quite so wide and I sat a little lower. Thanks!

Talk to the folks at Mean City Cycles in North Carolina...
they can trim your seat for you.
I am waiting for my seat to come back next week.

I guess I'd prefer to have a different seat and keep the factory as well, plus I'm in N.D....

Saddlemen. http://www.saddlemen.com/

I went here. They do a LOT of Honda's I understand.

The took mine down, shaved the nose, put in surgical gel, and popped my name on it (though it is not the font I wanted but they only had a few to choose from) and they did a SUPER job.




Good luck mate,

Corbin eliminates that "hump"... but they're not cheap.

I installed the CVO Limited heated Hammock seat. Really like it.

Do a search for Mean City Cycles Super Narrow seat modification. That might not be exactly it, but it's close. Most folks who have had that done seem to like it a lot. I have mine scheduled for 13 Feb. I want a little lower and more narrow as well. I had excellent results with my Softail seat after they modified it.
