My A$$'s needs help
well as of today I have put 1500 miles on my seat. I ended up having you do the double decker. I really was expecting more......my seat is not any more comfortable than before and now to add to the problem it bounce's off my tailbone and really hurts. I can barley do 75-100 miles in a day before I am beat. the seat itself looks horrible now. its bulgy and the front is not symmetrical. here are a few pics for you to judge.
i do understand that I sent a low profile seat, and i cannot expect magic but a simple no would have done, instead i am another 157.00 into a seat that does nothing for me. in fact it is worse than before. at least before it looked good.....

I am sorry the modification didn't do what you wanted it to but we will be more than happy to go back into the seat and make changes to it and knowing what we did didn't work very well for you lets us have a better understanding of what should work better for you. Of course there will not be any charge to make these changes.
Sounds good man. Just give us a call and we'll go over the process and get you fixed up.

well i called, they gave me instructions, i sent it in, from the time I seen it was delivered from ups to the time i had a fed ex tracking number was about a hour. The adjusted the foam, fixed all my problems. I mean to tell you it is night and day now. I did 20 miles and it feels 1000000000 times better. I could not be happier with the turn out. thanks again.....

WOW, thats good service. I wonder if they would do the same for me. Mine was done last year and it's no better, maybe worse than it was stock. They put the memory foam in the front and dual in the back and made it a little wider. The wife says the back is a little better but not much. After a 3-4 hour ride we're both hurtin pretty bad..

One question tugging at my mind, are you sore always after a ride or just for the first few rides of the season?
I have an 06 Street Bob and a 2010 Street Glide. I actually prefer the stock seat on both. I do have a Harley Hammock and a Sundowner for the Street Glide when the wife rides but use the stock seat other wise.
The reason I make the comment about the soreness is I find motorcycle riding very much like riding a bicycle. At the start of the riding season there is some "tenderness" in the butt region as I get used to riding again. This usually goes away after the first couple of weeks of riding. I don't ride a great distance to work (40 to 50 miles a day if I take the long way around) but I do try to ride every day. I find that the more I ride the less sore I am.

well i ride to work everyday, its only 30 miles round trip. that ride is fine, when i go for a loong ride its generally 100-300 miles a day, I had mine reworked after a 1600 mile trip over four days. as the days lagged on they got harder and harder, by the end of the trip i was so worn out i didnt even want to look at my bike. that is when i had it reworked. the problem was my foam was just too hard, compound that with the very low profile seat and thats your problem. they went one softer on the bottom layer and two softer on the top. it feels night and day differnce...I will post back in the spring when I break er in again....
