Default MMC Seat Modification Review

I recently got my OE seat back from Mean City Cycles (MCC). I had it lowered 1", narrowed 2", moved forward 1" and had Memory Foam added.

The seat modifications were not noticeable, i.e., it looked just like the OE. The workmanship was 1st class. I put 200 miles on yesterday and I was lower, and moved forward enough to comfortably reach the ground (5'9") and the OE bars but the ride quality was just so-so. Not totally uncomfortable but not the living room couch either. I was aware of squirming around quite a bit for 4-hours. Today, after only 200 miles mind you, my bony butt still has some ache.

I'll be going on some longer rides and we'll see how it does. But, in general, it was worth the $100.

Thanks for the review, I plan on doing mine as well. I've been putting it off for far too long

I have a seat for an 08 StreetGlide that is on it's way there as I type. I am really looking forward to seeing and trying the final product.
Thanks for the review.
