Default Seat mod?
Has anyone had a seat modified by Mean City Cycles? If so, how did it turn out and what was the service like?

There has been nothing but great things said about Mean City Cycle on this forum, I've talked with Allan about doing my seat. Great guy to deal with. I asked if I could bring my seat by one day and them work on it while the wife and I shop around, he said just give him a week notice. I don't think you will find anyone talk bad about him on this forum.

He gets great things said about his seats on the VTXOA as well. I am sending him my Sundowner next week to get the works done to it so I can do my 3 week trip next June and still have an *** to sit on when I get home

I had the seat done on my ultra a year ago. Fast turn around. Totally happy with MCC.

Had Allen mod the pillow seat for my FLHTC. Lowered me and pushed me back. Good price/great service. We corresponded by email a few times where I told him what I wanted and he told me what he could do. Very happy.
