Default Mean City Cycles Super Narrow Modded Seat

I have a touring seat off a 2012 Street Glide. Was sent to Mean City Cucles and had the Super Narrow Mod dome. I’m 5’7” with a 29” inseam. It let me stand flat footed without lowering the bike. Extremely comfortable and in perfect shape. There is no back strap across the passenger portion.

$320.00 shipped or if your local we can work out s pickup for $300. I’m in Mcdonough GA

Hey Depdog, did the seat drop you down any or was the gain mostly in the narrowing of the front of the pan? How is the cushioning of the seat vs a Sundowner? Vs stock? Could you ride 300 miles on this seat? Did you replace it with something else? Thanks, it’s just so difficult to “try out” a seat online...

I sold the bike. I bought a seat off here when I got the bike and had the seat modded. I put the original back on the bike when I sold it.

It lowered me a little, the narrowing at the thigh area probably helped the most. The foam is very comfortable to me. I weigh 190 and did a 452 mile day and it was very comfortable.

As as far as the stock seat the modded seat was more comfortable to me. Could not comment on the sundowner.

Did you add memory foam, or just had it narrowed?
