Hey guys, moved from Chicago, Illinois to Orlando, Florida and I don't know anyone locally that works on motorcycle seat upholstery modifications. My Saddlemen seat looks amazing but she's hard AF like I'm seating on a piece of concrete, lol~. But she looks good... Anyway, if anyone can assist me with a reputable custom seat specialist, pm me their info please~.
Also, it doesn't have to be locally, I can ship my seat anywhere in the U.S too~.
Your just a stones throw from pleanty of auto upholstery repar centers.
Since your only talking padding, seats are easy to remove cover. JoAnn sewing has pleanty of foam density choices. An electric turkey knife will cut it like butter.

Not just any "Auto upholstery" is what I am needing but a specialist that does and works only with HD seats~. But I appreciate your assistance brother~
Words of advice:
1. A "soft, cushy" seat will often seem great in the showroom but uncomfortable on longer rides.
2. Memory foam seems nice too, BUT after it compresses while riding, it offers NO cushioning and your butt is riding the seat pan.
3. Gel inserts have similar issues but you could try placing a gel pad on top of your current seat and test ride it for an hour or two.
I ride Mustang seats on my cycles. Yes, they feel very firm (initially) but firmer seats will actually be more comfortable in the long run. I know that's counter-intuitive but true for many riders.
There are some HD dealers that have "demo" seats (Mustang, Corbin etc).....I strongly suggest to check around or call a seat manufacturer and see if you can try some demo seats first....ride each for an hour or two and then re-evaluate.
