Every review I have ever seen and I have seen alot of them on other forums, have all been great. I have not heard one bad thing about thier seat mods or of any complaints about anything from customer service to the product. I have heard right now though that he is a little backed up and is about 2-3 weeks out on work.

I'm going to do this this off season. Wish I could do it with no down time but sure is a whole lot cheaper than a new seat I may not even like.

I've got one of Allen's seat mods done and am very happy with it. The turn around from the time I sent it to the time that I got it back was about ten days. Figuring transit time, that's pretty fast. A couple of my friends have also done this. We all agree that it made a big difference. [sm=goodidea.gif]

A person from another board that I visit asked me to post this for them since they are not a memeber of this forum.

I have the BadX extreme seat mod, which he also studded. It's great! I bought an Ultimate Big Boy, and didn't like the riding position. I sent my stock seat to Allen (BadX at Mean City Cycles) and he turned it around in a week. It sits lower, more comfortable, and it was a LOT cheaper than the Ultimate seat. My recommendation is to try his seat mod first...you will more than likely feel no further need for another seat!

I have sent Allen 3 seats, and am very happy with all his work, my sig pic shows a stud job he did, also he did the memory foam on my Badlander, took it from a "30 minute" seat to a 2 hr plus seat, and his work looks factory quality

Did the mod with memory foam on my sundowner, my feet sit flat now and it's a much more comfortable ride. Turn around time was resonable as were the prices and customer service.
