I thought about it for a road trip I took last summer but due to the cost I decided to try a sheepskin instead. It worked fine. Very comfortable & cool. Looks like crap but when you get old, that doesn't seem to matter as much as it once did.

 

Mean City Cycles is the best thing you can do for your ***.

 

I have an airhawk on the way. Tried one out the other day and it should help on the trip coming up.
For those who have used Mean City Cycles. What package do you go with and about how long does it take?
I guess I'm already starting on my list for winter mods

 

You may want to call the MCC guys. They are very cool and definitely helpful. When I called about having my stock seat reworked, they told me I could ride down and have it done in one day, assuming I scheduled ahead of time (I only live about 90 minutes away from them). They are also very responsive to emails.
