a well-worn seat can only mean one thing: that bike is being ridden and i mean ridden! My seat has that "shiny" look to it now too. I ride as much as i can when I`m not out 18 wheelin` so my seat is getting worn out. any suggestions on a good company to have a custom seat made? thanks for your help.

 

I have a Sundowner on my flht and am very happy with it!!!! Alot of options if you do a search....Good Luck!!!

 

Mean City Cycles is one of the sponsors and rebuild seats. I'd give them a call and see what they can do for you. BTW, they are at a 6 week lead time right now so I wouldn't put it off for too long.

 

If you have enjoyed your seat that much you might want to give your old friend a face lift with Mean City Cycles. If you are looking for a new partner I would seriously consider C&C seats. A great product that is very well constructed.

 

You sound like a candidate for a Corbin, being a rider and all.

 

Hey Tom96FLHTC,

How many miles do you have on your bike?

 

My stock seats never last more than about 8 years or 50,000 miles or so. Anyways, there is no perfect seat for everyone. Everyone is built different and has different taste as well.

I use to be fine with stock seats....until I tired aftermarket versions. If a person likes stock....then I would suggest in getting it redone.

My favorite has been the Mustang seats. Harder than stock, but softer than a Corbin. I have on on my Ultra and Lowrider. Sometime sometime this year, I am gonna send the seat off the Ultra to a company that will take your motorcycle seat and make it heated.

Anyways, seats and motor oil are all just about the same. You are gonna get a bunch of opinions and neither one is right, nor wrong.
