I had them do a Nomad seat I had and I couldn't have been happier with the whole transaction. I actually didn't like what they did the 1st time & they bent over backwards to make it right and fast too! I have referred them to a few friends who all loved their work. I wouldn't think of using anyone else!

Yes I had it done to my 2012 Limited's stock seat. I love it. I was able to flat foot the bike on level ground, but now I am able to stand and get my but off the seat, and flat foot the bike even on uneven surfaces. The seat is comfortable too.

Yes on the super narrow mod. My story is similar to fullautomike's. I could flat foot before the mod, but had no bend in my knee. Having both feet down at a sloped intersection could be challenging. Now with the super narrow mod, I have bend in my knee, stopping on slopes hasn't been a problem, and it's easier to back up the bike as well. I'm happy with MCC.

Super narrow mod for me, passenger seat mod with memory foam for the wife. One of my favorite mods to the bike. I could barely flat foot before, now I have no problem. A lot more stable feeling.

Should be getting my seat back from the tomorrow-can't wait!
Their waiting list (without paying for the "express service" was a little over a month. I also bought a replacement saddle on ebay with a tear in it for $35 so I could keep riding while they had it.

Exact same that I did on my Limited, plus I had them stud the seat and backrest. That gets you about as low as you can get without modding the suspension and yet still comfy. Looks super. It even lowered me enough to make the relatively low bar height more comfortable. Highly recommend.
