I thought about buying a cheap used seat, and just sending it from seller to RDL. Only thing is they want pics of you sitting on bike with the seat that is be modded. Now, my oem seat tore, and has been repaired on the nose, so it's in ok shape. I figured I would save the $150 (buying used seat+shipping to me) to put towards RDL. I also plan to keep this bike for a long time. I just had motor built/tuned.
I am 2700 miles from RDL.
I have contacted MCC, and they can not do anything with the oem seat. I am only 45min from Allen@MCC.
I have also just thought about buying a mustang touring seat, and be done with it.
I would like for them to keep the oem heat. Although I really do not use the heated seat, or grips much (maybe in early spring/late fall). Heated seat and grips can not compare to heated gloves, jacket, pants, and socks.
So, do you recommend all vinyl, or vinyl with leather inserts?
I will do the half moon stitching that closest to oem look.
before this bike I had a 2010 ultra limtied. Honestly, I thought the oem seat on that bike was great. I would be just as good finding the oem part#, and find that seat cheap on ebay. I had a 1k days on that stock seat.
