well, since mcc does it for a business, i don't think they are gonna do a step by step so you can do it yourself.

i guess it's like anything, grab a hold of the seat and go for it. if you screw it up, buy another seat off ebay and try again

http://www.motorcyclistonline.com/ho...ats/index.html might help you out.


Also, check youtube. For do-it-yourself stuff, it's a great resource.

Bar Enterprises did my Lowrider seat with memory foam. What a difference. I recommend it to everyone. I can ride 3x farther without stopping.
