Default Mean city mod did you do?

Those that used Mean City ~ What "Drivers Seat Modifications" did you do and would have you done a different mod to the seat? Or, maybe did more instead of a less expensive way?

Thanks Tim. http://www.meancitycycles.com/

Well, I had it lowered and had the memory foam installed on the driver seat. Wish I'd had it installed on the passenger seat as well.

I had the driver portion lowered 1" and forward 1" and done the double decker memory foam front & back. Still breaking it in.

I was actually thinking about getting it redone with gel. I only have about 500 miles on my "new" seat, so it's a bit early to tell how comfy it really will be yet. I did have a Saddlemen Explorer gel seat on my Heritage and loved it.

I went forward and down with the foam. At first I felt like I was still at the same height. Not so much anymore. I wish it was jsut a tad more narrow.

Had them lower and install forever foam on my 2008 EGC. Did a great job. Quality workmanship. I've got about 400 miles on the modification and I can't feel any loss of comfort.
