Default Ultra seat

I have a 2006 Ultra , stock 2 up seat , also i have a Corbin Gambler seat but doesn't give the wife enough seat with riding two up and after riding with this seat for a few months, I find it hard to ride two up with the stock Harley seat. It is moving to close up after riding with the Corbin seat. Does anyone here know of a good seat that will allow me to ride two up , give her the confort she needs and getting me back like i ride with the Gambler seat. Any Ideas ?? Please let me know .

Mean City Cycles has a section here on the forums. Allen (BadX) does seat modifications for a better price than you could purchase a new seat. He sells diy kits also to put memory foam in your passenger seat. I think you and the mrs. would be happy.

I haven't yet, waiting for the weather to cool off so I don't mind letting the bike sit seatless for a bitbutyou can see below where he has already done an anniversary seat. He reuses your cover, just takes some foam out.

Default RE: Ultra seat

I have an Ultimate Seat for my VTX which I have used for 3 years prior to getting my Electra Glide. I did some very long trips on it last year and averaged 600 miles on some of those days - my butt never got sore!. Des started making Harley Seats a year or so ago but starting out as a metric seat builder has made it hard for him to crack the Harley market. He was at Sturgis last year across from the Mustang tent. I would seriously consider this guy and his product - I am waiting until he gets his 08 Electra Glide seats done (they changed a bit this year due to the new tank) and I will be sending my $$$ to him. You can check him out at http://www.ultimateseats.ca/Harleyabout.html
