Default Custom Seat Foam Work?
I have a new Mustang seat that I really like the look and function as it has a backrest and removable passenger pillion but it needs a little tweaking to fit my backside.
Any suggestions for custom foam work companies you all could recommend?

IMHO you have to break it in to get the full comfort...unless the fronts too wide or something..depends what seat it is...79446?..thats what I have..its a great seat...on its second bike...for some reason it sets me back farther than the summit 19 inch wide model...

4.... Which seat did you get? I bought the wide tripper solo, and had to send it to them to have a "tailbone relief channel" modification. It made a world of difference.

Mine is for sale now, as I never take the stocker off, after having it customized by MCC. It's in perfect condition.
