Have a ride-in appointment scheduled there on June 29th. Can't wait. I'll have it broken in by the end of the day. Having the work done on Friday and by Monday night I'll have over 2K miles on it. Sure hope it's good...

Here is my experience with MCC. I had an issue with being tip toed on my 2012 CVORG. Allen suggested that I replace the stock solo with a 2011/12 SG /RG seat. Here it is in the first pic.
At his recommendation I had Allen do the Super narrow mod as well as lower the seat height. I also had him shave the rear passenger portion down slightly towards the rear fender for a little better stream lined look.
I cant tell you how happy I am now being flat footed and very comfortable with the memory foam.

Had two seats done by them; both were great. Only thing I'd look at doing differently if I were going to do it again is maybe (depending on the $$) having it covered in leather for better breathing. It gets really hot out here and that stock vinyl just doesnt breath at all...plus nice leather would look like it belongs on a $20k+ bike

The more I read about Mean City, the more I'm leaning this way myself. I actually like the way the stock seat looks and fits overall, I would just like to be a bit lower in the saddle, not forward or back. I like what they did to fxdsegrl's seat above.
Wish I had an extra seat I could send them... Don't wanna lose the bike during riding season, so this may be a winter mod then...

Had mine re-covered along memory for the driver and I'm still breaking it in but it is better already!
