I've done some research and can't really find anything that fits my needs for a new seat.

I'm 5'10 and weigh 180#. I want something that lowers me down a bit, but is comfortable enough to ride for 2+ hours for me and the wife. After about 1.5 hours the wife wants off for a bit. I can flat foot both feet when stopped, but I'm almost standing when I do.

The only seat that I can find that seems to do what I want is the Mustang One-Piece LowDown, part # 79700. http://www.mustangseats.com/Product/...FLHT-FLTR-FLHX

Does anyone have this seat? What are your thoughts on it?

Does anyone have a recommendation besides the LowDown?

 

Go to Venturerider.org: classifieds: Members Vendors: Rick Butler: Butt Butler Seat Mod.

He's done two seats for me in the past and does very good work for very little (cost more to ship it than his actual costs). I'd atleast give him a call and let him know what you got and what you want and see if he can help you. After he worked on my seats, the only visual difference was the rear seat looked puffed up alittle due to the layer of memory foam he put on top of it for the wife to make it softer.

And I completely understand if you don't want your seat modified, just throwing out another option.

 

I picked up a used Ultra seat for $100.00 with a couple hundred miles on it. I sent it to Mean City Cycles and had them do the super narrow mod on it with memory foam. I have a 30" inseam and it's perfect on my SGS I did not have them do anything to the passenger seat and my wife and I can ride all day.

 

I have looked into the seat modification, if it was winter and I wouldn't be riding for a few weeks. I'd rather buy a new seat than be without the bike a few weeks in the prime riding season.

Thanks for the ideas. If I don't do anything this season, I will have my seat modified this winter for sure.

 

Mean City Cycles will do the trick, probably for much less than the cost of a new seat. I had them do my softail stock seat and it was awesome. With my SG, I went with a Mustang seat because I did not want to be without a seat while it was being done. I like the Mustang, but I kind of wish I had just done the stock seat mods with Mean City.

 

+1 on Mean City Cycles. I had my limited seat narrowed, memory foam (rider+passenger) and dual control seat heaters added. They lowered the seat a bit too. I am 5-10 weigh 190 lbs and also have a 30 inch inseam. I can now sit with both feet flat with bend in the knees without having to 'stand'. Much cheaper than a new seat.

 

Had mine done by MCC. double layer memory foam for rider and passenger. done by appointment only. shipped 3 days beforehand. seat modified and shipped back to me on same day. got it back two days later. total of 6 days without seat.

 

Right now I don't want to have my stock seat modified.

 

Wife has the Mustang Lowdown for few years from her 08 UC then transfer to 15 Limited Low she loves it and goes non stop between fuel stop which is any where from 160 plus miles most of the time.One thing she doesn't like about it you can see the bare frame rails in the narrow part of the seat, guess going to put some chrome trim on it just like I did on her 08 UC.

 

Would you mind posting a picture of it installed?
