Wink 93 Ultra Seat Recommdation??

I have a Saddleman low pro that came on the bike when I bought it and it looks TIGHT! But, my *** is killin me after 30 miles (let alone the 650 I did last year...um, OUCH!). Currently I have the tour pack/rack off (stock seat too)and would like to keep them off till the next big trip so I need to find a seat that looks good but isn't a killer.

A friend is willing to give me his old seat off his 98 Road King but it will take some modifying to make it work. I wanted to see if anyone had some good recommendations for aftermarket seats as well as a stock HD seat that matches up with min modifications that doesn't attach to the rack (as my stock seat does). Saddleman attaches about mid rear fender + inch or two back.

Thanx
JC

Send the stock seat out and have Mean City do it over. As for the attachment get an aftermarket seat fender nut and a 1" plastic spacer, with a longer allen head screw and you are in business. We did this with our '95 Ultra when we put the removable tour pack on it. Works like a charm.
