Had Alan do a trim and double foam the front and single on the back a few years back. Met him down at Thunder Beach as they had just got setup and he was done in a little over an hour. Frankly if I had a TV out in the garage I would probably go sit on the scoot and watch than sit in the recliner in my living room!
For the money it is probably the best mod I have done.
BTW I had him redo a HD Tallboy seat not the stocker.

Tailbone pain which then obviously radiates over time. Maybe a fatter *** would help me

They do great work, just think very carefully about what you want because that is exactly what they will do. You make an appointment with them, then print out a worksheet from the web site with your height and weight and options you select and that goes in the box with the seat.

I sent my backrest also for studding of it and the seat and it came out looking great for just a few dollars more, you can see that in my sigpic.

I had Mean City do the Sundowner on my 2012 RK. I went with the Super Narrow mod and memory foam for driver and passenger. I said when it's finished, I want to sit 1" lower in height and 0.5" closer to the bars, and they did a fantastic job. I couldn't be happier.

I have tried the hammock seat and the road Zepplin and wasn't impressed, so going this way now...the stock seat we have is fine for 400-450 miles or so, then my butt and the seat start fighting! I bought another stock seat to send off to them as soon as figure out exactly what we want done! I would like to be about an inch to inch and a half back and maybe down just a tad, and wife would like a little softer seat with little to no bottoming out...

Think I'll give them a call!

Had my '13 RK stock seat done by MCC. Made an appt. with them about a month after I got my ride as I'm fairly close to them. They did the super narrow mod and the passenger piece with memory foam during a long lunch hour. I couldn't be happier.

My garage has a larger pic of my sig with the seat.

The pricing on their standard mods can be found here

They're real easy to talk to and will work with you on specific mods if need be.
