Default Those That Have Mean City Cycle Seats

I am looking to have catch up with MCC at either Thunder Valley or Thunder Beach and have the seat reworked for driver and passenger on my 2010 Limited.

My question is to those of you that have had your seat done, what modifications did you have done? I do not really need the seating position changed, just looking to make it better for me and the OL. With all the options they have, can not seem to figure out what all I need. Stock seats not terrible, good for about 3 to 4 hours, just looking to make it better.

Thanks for the input.

I trust you have looked at the website? Under each modification they describe on how it will affect seating position. You might be able to answer your question.

Double memory foam on my stock seat (they moved me back an inch also). So much more comfortable and affordable than buying a new seat.

On my 08 EGS Seat was just a tad high although could live with it .. Decided to try it to lower about 1/2 inch and add comfort and that was done far beyond expectations ..

I had the double memory foam and deluxe seat heaters
done front and back. LOVE IT!!!!!!!!! I recently rode a
mountain run with bro-in-law he has a '08 RG and it
wasn't very long that he was standing up every time we
hit a stop sign and he was wondering why I wasn't.
1773 miles in four days and butt had no problems.
By the way I also did the MOMMA HAPPY which gave
the rear seat ove 4" of extra width.
Seat heaters I would recommend to anyone, I know
you are in Jax ( I spent 3.5 yrs there, Mayport) not
a great amount of cold but the heaters are a great
comfort when the temps get below 50* and I can
feel the warmth from lower back to half way down my
thighs, I AM SO GLAD I DID IT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Default Mean City Cycles

I don't remember exactly what Mean CityCycles did to may saddle, but it cost about $350 and it was wort EVERY PENNY! I sent the seat and had it back in about 2 weeks.

My wife and I just got back from a 6K mile trip and we always felt like we could ride longer. I strongly recommend Mean City Cycles.

I was riding with a Mustang seat for longer trips. MCC did double memory foam on my stock seat early this year. The position is about the same. I used the MCC modified stock seat for a cross country ride in July. It was the right choice. The change in shape just fits the backside better. Love the seat.
