I really like the seat. Height is about the same as it was before. He did get me back some though.

Can you advise how you like your CVO seat after you had it modified.
I am 5'6" and have an inseam of 30 inches so I am rather height challenged. I have purchased a 2016 CVO Limited and am looking to do the same type of thing with my seat.
Did you modify the height and padding in it?

Got mine today. I bought a heated Hammock from a CVO RGU from the classifieds and put a hundred miles on it. It's part # 52000175. It sits me up about an inch, and back a bit, and at my size (6'2", 34" inseam) it's perfect. My hips are above my knees, and my arms have a nice bend to them reaching the bars (which I've rolled forwards). It's substantially wider in the front than the stocker, so there's a ton of support.
The foam's a bit stiffer than the stock seat, and the hammock does a great job of absorbing shock that the stock suspension doesn't eat up. It absolutely cradles my butt and keeps me from slouching.
Time and distance will tell if this is the seat to end all seats, but my initial impression is that this is the shiznit. Stock seats are always a gamble/letdown (BMW's stock seats are a painful reminder of how cruel the Germans can be), but Harley really did good with this one.
