Custom seat builder recommendations
While the HD Tallboy seat feels good and fits me good, I just hate the way it looks. I don't ride 2-up so I don't need the oversized back seat. I've been thinking maybe a custom seat builder could give me the rise and rearward position without the silly look. I still have the stock seat so sending it out wouldn't be any inconvenience.
Any suggestions on who to look at?

I got a custom seat made by www.sicksaddles.com with gel insert for around $200, have about 10,000 miles on it and it is very comfortable, sets me back about 2" and looks good. And you don't have to send in anything.

I gave Mean City a call and they said I would get better results to let them mod my tallboy - basically cutting down the ridiculous passenger seat and adding the gel/memory foam to the seat bucket, then modifying the stock low rider seat (which was my original plan). If I'm going to do this, I'll probably opt for a leather cover. They seem like the place to go to, but all in it's about $600. That's a nice chunk of change considering I'm happy with the tallboy except for the look... Not sure now.
