I got home from work last night little past 10 PM and my seat was waiting for me. It was raining this morning so I couldn't (didn't want to) try it out right away. I went to the garage in flat sandles, installed the seat, and sat on it. Winner! Still overcast when it was time to leave for work but I had to try it. With my Redwings, 1.5 inch heels, I am solidly flat footed with bent knees. I'm loving it. It feels like I'm sitting in a bucket seat.

Mean City is superb, they did the super narrow for me in December. And I just got it back for some new stitch work, amazing results both times

I did the "super narrow" lowered two inches, replaced stock foam with memory foam for rider and passenger.

I hope to put some miles on this weekend if the weather cooperates.

If I may chime in, sounds like we had the same thing done to the seat and I can tell you it's comfortable on the long hall too. Did a round trip to Nashville and was comfortable the whole way.
