The double uses two different densities of foam, its not double thick, you can actually get the seat lowered and get the double foam.

Go to their website or give them a call. They can narrow, lower, raise, move you forward or back, whatever you need or want. I shipped by UPS from my work for less than $13.

The quality of their work is outstanding and they will answer any and all questions that you may have. Also, they have a fast turn around time.
I have put about 700 miles on the seat (two times running out a tank of gas without stopping) and I am very pleased. The feeling of the relieved area is very nice and has helped greatly with my issues. No hot spots on my butt, just my weight spread evenly over the seat.
I would recommend MCC to anyone not happy with the stock seat, and there many people that feel that way. You can have your stock factory seat modified and keep the stock look while adding to your comfort.......for a fraction of the cost of a new seat.
+1, Best money I ever spent.

I weigh 210 without gear so maybe the layer of material they put in there for me isn't enough. My ebay scored Mustang is a bit better I think.
Will they "fine tune" it for you?

The 2010 stock seat doesn't look like it gives much area to improve while still keeping a low profile. Im also interested in their service and shot them an email with my info.

I had MeanCity lower and narrow my stock 2008 FLHRC seat and add some memory foam for comfort . It came back a cpl inchs lower and a cpl inchs narrower. super comfey after it was broke in . over 10,000 miles on it now just got back from a 2000 mile trip with a cpl 500 miles days still rides great .

TOTAL COST including shipping both ways just under $150 .

SUPER THRIFTY

Great deal for me too. Super Narrow and Memory Foam.
Their work really sweetened up my HD Sundowner seat.
Give 'em a call for Q & A.

I never asked them as shipping from up here in Canada is a killer, just not worth it. Did a couple hundred mile jaunt today and my butt cheeks are having a big argument that's for sure, ha ha. I think they are a cheaper alternative to a properly made Mustang or Ultimate.
