Default Seat Modification

My custom 2-up seat needs modification. Its just not comfortable. I recall there was a member/vendor who did custom seat mod's.......can anyone tell me who?

If not does anyone have any ideas where I could go. Not sure I'd get what I want from the few local guys.

By custom, I assume you mean that you went to a seat maker &, had them build you a seat according to your unique specifications & situation. That's the normal meaning of custom, so why wouldn't you return to that seat maker & have them do some more modifications?

Mean City won't work on Saddleman seats; they say they are too difficult.

LOL...who said they are too difficult? They do not modify very well and are not good seats to modify.

+1 for Mean City Cycles. They modded my 09 SERG seat with memory foam both pass and driver and tail bone relief. I was at a point if my SG couldnt be ridden for more than an hour without my lower back killing me...I was going to sell the HD and buy a Wingdinger. FACT. Well...... I still have the Street Glide and it has NEVER been so comfortable to ride. The only thing that MCC told me was modding a Screamin' Eagle seat was tough because the leather is cut short. Mine turned out PERFECT. My wife like the added seat width and comfy pad too.
