What year WG? Thought I remembered reading that the 06 and up Dynas had the same seats. Maybe I'm wrong.

My wife and I just had each of our seats redone by this guy http://www.highrollersmotorcycleseats.com/HOME.htm Using the stock pan for each, mine was lowered and the seating area was moved back about an inch. My wife had hers narrowed, lowered and moved forward by about 2 inches. Each have more dense foam than stock and ride like a dream. I had my seat covered in horn tail alligator. It's the best looking seat I have ever seen. The guys name is Butch Watson. Turn around time was 1 week on each seat. I would highly recommend him.

Try phat performance parts This link will take you to their wide glide seats. I know the Mustang seats are narrower then stock and comfy. I believe the Le Pera seats are narrower as well.

I have heard good things about http://www.meancitycycles.com/. I am getting ready to send my seat to them to get it modified. Weather is just too nice to be without the bike for a week or two right now, though.

madmech,
I like the way that seat looks on your bike. How is it for long trips. It looks deep. Which Le Pera model is that, the Maverick?
