Big guys over 260 that have had your seat modified by Mean city cycles, which modification did you get and how did it work out for you. Thanks!

You won't find many people saying it didn't work for them. Best bet is to call them and get your answers straight from the source . Everyone's *** is different.

I'm 240 and had the memory foam installed for me and my passenger. Best money I have spent on a seat. They are super nice to deal with as well.

I had them do the “Iron Butt” mod on mine and couldn’t have been happier.

Had them do the stock seat on my old '12 Limited. I told them I wanted to sit as low as possible without sacrificing any comfort. Not sure what they called the mod exactly (they had a name for it) but I do remember it had two layers of memory foam. It was awesome and got me through my first Iron Butt with ease. Great people to work with. I remember the shipping was expensive though (I live in Washington State) at like $96 @ UPS just to get it to them. It was only $35 to send it back to me. To do it again, I'd ask if they could send you a shipping label for you to send it to them and just add it to the bill - take advantage of their shipping discount.

I just called last week to have my Mustang Wide touring w/ backrest modified and have an appointment for later May. Very nice people to work with. Waaaaaaaaaaaaaaay cheaper than a new seat.

Memory foam mod with Alligator seat cover. Seating position remained the same. I passed on the heated option.

Interesting.. rauchman, I didn't know they did Mustangs due to the rivets. Am I mistaken or has this changed?
I have the super touring wide on mine. I like it primarily due to the seating position, but...even with upgraded suspension I get little burn butt.
I'll be interested to know how yours turns out.
