I'm only 4 hours from MCC and may ride up and wait on it if they can do it.
There was a guy waiting for his when I dropped mine off. That is the ideal way I'm thinking. He can look and see how you sit and have a better chance of getting it right the first time. It is worth the price to give it a shot. I paid $150 versus $600 for a Mustang Touring set up.

Put my seat on today and I am impressed. Didn't get to ride but it feels great. My 14 Ultra fits me so much better now and unless you know you cannot tell it has been touched. I am a happy camper.

That's what I like about it too. Looks factory, can't tell it was even touched

Anybody have a report on how their covers are lasting into the 4th, 5th or more years after the mod?

That's why both of my seats are there now. No riding in Ohio for the near future.
