seat mod
I have a 94 ultra and really didn't care for the stock seat. The problem I found is that there are not a ton of aftermarket options for older bikes not to mention if I'd like to avoidspending another $400. I found badx here on these forums and rode out to meet him this weekend and have him modify my seat. I have to say, it was well worth it! He did an awesome job. I went with the memory foam option and I'm thrilled with the results. Check him out at www.meancitycycles.com (edited to fix link)

RE: seat mod
The pricing at Mean City sure look good if it gets you what you are looking for. Just to give you something else to think about though, have a look at Corbin seats. My Ultra came with one or I probably would not have spent the money for an unknown. However, I will not be without one on any futher bike. My first comment was about howvery firmthe seat felt.Previous ownersaid " and thats how it will still feel at the end of the day,exactly like it feels now." I was very skeptical, but I can say it's true,8 hrs later the seat feels no different than at the start. No burn, pain, moving around after the first 45 min trying to find a comfortable spot. No they are not cheap,but well worth the $. Just something else to ponder.

RE: seat mod
I had a corbin on a previous bike and agree, it was a great seat. $100's of dollars difference though. I don't have enough time on my modified seat yet to compare the two but one thing that led me to the modification was the $ and the other was the lack of options for my 94 ultra.
Edit: Just looked up the corbin. For a 94 ultra, the dual tour is $699, to get a matching trunk rest, is another $499. I'm willing to try the mod for $85(including memory foam) to avoid spending $1200.
