Default Pulling the trigger on a seat mod

We had some butt burn last summer so trying a seat mod with Mean City Cycles. Wanted to keep the look of my RKC stock seat. Getting slightly lowered and back (rider). Wider passenger. Memory foam and 2-level heaters also! Will send the seat to MCC in a few weeks! If anyone has experience with MCC is like to hear about it. Thanks!

Should only be without a seat for 3-4 days. Maybe I'll see if I can demo one for those couple days!

Had mine done by Allen at Mean City and can only say great things about it. had my '14 SSG seat lowered an inch, narrowed at the neck, pushed back 1/2", memory foam and Hi/Lo heater installed and what an amazing difference in ride. No More Butt Burn and so much better footed and relaxing. Your going to enjoy it!
