This is my 3rd seat with them, had one on my super glide and on my honda vtx. best seat i've ever had. you can just see how much support you have in it
I had stopped in to their place in Daytona and I remember the woman saying something about the 30 day return policy, I was going to go back the next day to test drive one but didn't end up going, they seem like nice people. The back of the seat looks more defined than stock and that's what I'm looking for, I bought a Danny Gray Tour IST and it has a nice defined back, but it moves both of us forward and me up. It's livable for me but not for the OL. My favorite seating position was my stock that Mean City did for me,1" back and down but the memory foam didn't hold up well and I had a local guy add gel pads to it but he F#$@ed all up. I'll give them a call later.

Thanks man

My wife loves the back seat, has a bit of a contoured lip in the back of it which gives her more support, and it wider than the stock and way more comfortable. She sat on one at a show and asked me to buy it when i had my super glide. there was no other seat even thought about for the Lo

I bought the HD touring seat for the wife and had to have it redone 3, yes, 3 times before she was satisfied!

I have the Touring passenger seat for my OL and she liked it right out of the box, had it reworked by Mean City with memory foam and a tailbone relief and she loves it. That's what's been so hard about seat shopping, she hasn't found anything she likes better and I can't find anything for me to work with hers.

So, with the Ultimate, would you say you sit "ON" the seat?

Or is it more "IN" the seat?

I'm unclear on that part. I need to hear it one more time.









Ha, just ****ing with ya, man.
