My A$$'s needs help
Ok so to start off I weigh 330 lbs, I am hoping to drop below 300 yet this year......I am 6'2" but anyway I ride a 09 street bob, I have just purchased a 07 lowrider seat. the seat is even less comfortable than the factory solo seat. but two up is definatly a necessity so i wanna try and fix it. here is what I want in a seat please tell me what i need
-comfort, (must be able to roll up to 400 miles in a day)
-stock height or a little lower
-as far back as i can go
-passenger pavilon low as i can go
-passenger pavilon narrow as i can get(something like badlander
so is there help in my future? should I just order another seat? just let me know.

can you do anything for the passenger pavilion to make it more like the badlander? narrow and low? if I did just single layer memory foam would it be better than factory foam? if not I can just switch back and forth and have you improve the factory solo....
We could do the single layer of memory foam but for your weight we would have to use a firm foam which at first will feel pretty hard but will break in good and once you get through the break in period the seat will be much better than the stock seat. As far as slimming up the passenger section of the seat, we can do that.

The memory foam modification would be $100, trimming down the passenger section would be $5 so you would be looking at $105 plus return shipping.
As far as moving you back and down, with the way that seat pan is shaped I doubt you would notice much difference in riding position really. The way they have these designed now really limits us on rearward movement and I would recommend going lower because that would make it feel like I pushed you forward.

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.....
