Default Another seat ???

I have a new to me 2003 Ultra. I hate the seat. I rode a streetglide with a Sundowner for a short ride. I have been on Ebay looking at seats, Sundowner,Reach etc. I am also thinking of sending my seat to MCC to be reworked. Anybody got any input??

Default Seat

Mustang Is a good way to go. We got one for the wifes low rider last year in Daytona. they fitted the seat to her and the bike . Then my buddy went back and got on for his 09 Ultra And he was a big fan of Corbin He liked the customer service and the seat from Mustang much better . I had a Reach seat for my Road glide reworked from a Master Lugo"s ,in Tampa He did a great job and he also did a little custom work on it for me I put 1300 miles on it after he worked on it It feels great

I had Mean City do a seat on another bike I owned and was very happy with it. I currently have a C&C seat and love it. If you want to keep the stock look I would say go with mean city. My C&C is a great looking seat but does look very different look than stock. It is also extremely comfortable for me. I also have a sundowner and its comfortable and I use it for riding with the wife. The stock SG seat was just too narrow in the passenger part to get modified and make her happy.

I would have went with a C&C squareback if I didn't love haulin' the ol' lady around with me. This C&C fits me like a good old leather saddle!

Mean City Cycles did a great job for me on my '09 Ultra. The seat came back fast and the cost was very reasonable. MCC also did the seat on my brothers BMW; his is awesome too. I highly recommend them.

I use the HD Road King after market seat on my Road King and am very happy with it but my butt probably isn't like your butt. That's really the thing about seats, you can't test them before you buy them.

C&C's are as nice or nicer than anything Corbin makes. Half the price too!
