I rode up to Mean City Cycles today to get my seats modified. I got the extreme memory foam mod done on my seat and the double decker mod done on the passenger pillion(which he also widened over an inch). I also bought the Cruise N Comfort back rest from www.cruisencomfort.com and had it shipped to Allen for installation.

He really took his time and made sure the fit was perfect. He would shave down the seat, put it on the bike, I would sit on it, see how it fit me, then he would shave it down some more, then I would try it again. He did this until the fit was perfect. And it only took about an hour or so.

The 110 mile ride up there sucked. My butt was burning and my tail bone was aching. After Allen was done with seat and I sat on the finished seat for the first time, my rear had a huge sigh of relief. After that, I decided to take the 140 mile long way home. No butt burn or aching backside.

Anybody considering getting this done, do yourself a favor and wait no more. You will not regret it. And at $185, It's a bargain!!

Allen (aka BadX) is now my best good friend. Thanks again man!!

Does anyone know if there is a passenger seat available for the 1300C. I have the UltimateX lowrider but I don't like how fat and wide the passenger seat looks without a sissybar. I'm not married so looks mean more than comfort for the passenger seat. I may have to get a Phantom pad but would rather have one that attaches to the stock mounts.

Here is Dave's bike after the modifications and with the Driver's backrest on. He got the memory foam modification, CNC back rest and the new Wide Double Decker for the passenger pillion.

BadX done mine about 3 months ago and I swear it gets better and better as time goes by. I had a little burn right after he did it. Although it eliminated the tailbone pain immediately. Now no problems at all. Thanks, Allen

As much as I'd like for BadX to do my seat the time factor is bad for me right now. I need to find a source for the foam and/or gel so I can do it myself.
Just buy another stock seat and have it shipped directy to Allen. That way you don't loose any riding time.

I could do that but then I'd have twice the money into it. I like doing things myself anyway, that's how I learn.
Deals are out there. I picked one up on the classifieds board for $40 incl. shipping. Once I get my seat done, I'm going to pass the spare on to others who want their seats modded, but don't want to be without their bike for that long.
