Oh, now THAT'S nice! Very sweet, indeed! Now more details how 'bout it? Leather or marine vinyl? Is that stitching or embossed? Memory foam? Gel? Both? Neither? How is the seating position compared to stock? Lower? More back? About the same? Is the nose narrower, wider, or about the same compared to stock? And if you are so inclined, how about a pic in daylight to show it off better?

Reason I'm asking all these questions, is when I renteda Sportster Low a couple of months ago, I thought the stock seat very comfortable for the first 75 miles or so. Then it started getting harder and harder with each ticking mile marker. The seat "fits" me, but it just got too damn hard after a while. I've also got really short legs, so I need an easy reach to the pavement, too. I don't need anything that sits me up higher, or has a much wider nose up front. I've been on C & C's website a couple of times and I think they offer a very reasonably priced alternative. BTW, I have NOT gotten the bike yet. Just looking for info for when I do.
