Mean city is a good option but for late model sporties that have the ECM in the fender the seat pans are made so that Allen can only add or change the padding just a little for a bit of comfort but he cannot lower or change the seat shape much since there is no room due to the shape of the pan going over the ECM (older models he can lower and set the seating position back some). Actually his turn around if you send him a seat I hear is usually a week.
The sundowner vinyl and plastic seat pan is such crap and poor quality that I would never spend extra money on it personally even though the seat is pretty comfy. The difference in build quality and vinyl used on most other seat brands is much better.

That mean city cycles was sounding good for a possible improvement to my Sundowner seat. But the website says they are taking order by appointment only. I though if I could ride to their place, and get a seat re-worked in half a day that might be cool.
Appointment.....nah. I don't think I wanna ride on the fender for a month while they have my seat.

Sadly.. Everyones opinion is different. I've had a Mustang seat and multiple corbin seats. For me I personally liked the corbin seats better. My Mustang NEVER got soft for me. I weighed about 160-175lbs at the time. My dad had one on his bike at the same time, and he's almost 280lbs. That thing felt so soft and comfy. I don't think I was heavy enough to really break the mustang in. Corbins are hard as well, but have always seemed more comfortable out of the box for me. I just put a LePera on my Sportster.. So we'll see. People say it's to hard, but it feels soft compared to Corbin and Mustang seats.
