Default SEAT HELP! Please..........

Ok I didnt know that finding a seat for my 1996 ultra would be such a pain in the butt!! How or what are my options can I modify my bike to accept the newer seats? I just am getting real frustrated with everything when it comes to wanting to increase comfort and what I have found available out there to fit my bike are just plain damn ugly almost like the 1970's style??

So come on guys and help me out!!

Allen can take what you got and make it, and you a$$, look, I mean ride, like a million bucks.

Why buy new when old can be fixed?

Call Allen. You won't be sorry.

I had a 96 RK and the seats are limited for those frames. I found several on ebay and finally settle on a corbin. I also bought a mustang seat on ebay - didn't care about the condition as long as the pan was good and then talked to the folks like C&C and Mean City about having it cutom made. That is a very good option.

Buy an extra seat for the pan and then get one made like you want.
