Default Seat Modifcations

I'm going to have my Mustang seat modified for comfort this winter. I've read some good things about Mean City Cycles on this forum. I've also come across a company out Tennessee called Sportsdrive.

Just wondering if anyone has used Sportsdrive or if anyone thinks Mean City is the way to go.

Thanks for the info!

Smile do it yourself?

Your stock seat is just about worthless if you decide to sell and purchase an after-market. Many folks on here have modified their own seats successfully...me included...so you have little to lose if you do it yourself and are not satisfied. Mean City has received many positive comments, probably can find some using the search function. To do it yourself you should have a plan, locate some good foam, an electric knife, some coarse sandpaper, saran wrap, maybe some duct tape and a free afternoon. Having said that, now our bikes both have LePera seats.
