Will the seat mod work on my motorcycle?
Yes the seat mod will work on all motorcycles and are now offering them for sport bikes.
How long will it take?
Please read the scheduling policy.
Going by the scheduling system turn around time is really fast. Your seat has to be at the shop no later than the day before it is scheduled. On the scheduled date, the seat is completed and shipped so the biggest part of the turn around time is shipping time. However, there are a few modifications that cannot be completed in this time frame. These are usually modifications requiring a new cover or some other special type work and even then we do everything we can to get your seat out as quick as possible.
How do I schedule a appointment?
Call 866-550-SEAT and we will be glad to go over the available dates.
How do I order a seat modification?
Fill out the form located here, print it out and send it with your seat. You can also call to order.
Do you do custom cover work?
Yes, but on a limited schedule right now. The cost depends on what you want done but I think I have the prices pretty competitive.
How will the seat look after the mod?
The seat will look stock for the most part. Most people can't tell anything has been done till they sit on it. Then it's all happy happy and joy joy riding.
Where do I ship and how do I pay?
The seats need to be shipped to:
MeanCityCycles
525 E Main St
Maiden, NC 28650
You can pay via a Check, Money Order, Credit Cards or PayPal.
How much does return shipping cost?
That will depend on your location and size of the package you send your seat in. If you send me your complete shipping address I can give you a shipping quote. All seats are shipping via FedEx. I have found FedEx has very competitive rates and they pick up everyday from the shop. UPS delivers to the shop everyday also and if you include a return label that is fine but if you want the seat returned via UPS or USPS there will be a $25 fuel charge for seat delivery to these locations if I have to deliver them to the shipping company. I hate doing this but it takes time away from me being in the shop and extra travel isn't figured into my prices.
Why aren't you guys replying to my emails?
Odds are we are answering your emails and your spam blocker is blocking them or your emails are bouncing back to us. We reply to every email that requires replying to.
Can you work on my Mustang/Corbin seat?
Yes. We have started offering these modifications for the aftermarket seats.
Do you ship out of the country?
Yes. We have worked on seats from all over the world. Payment options vary depending on certain countries, but we do ship globally and do require all export documents and fees be paid by you and we can surely work something out.
Is there a break in period?
Normally there is a break in period. This vary's from rider to rider but normally 800-1000 miles is the break in period for our modificiatons. We replace a lot of the stock foam with new foam so its like getting a brand new seat and like any new seat there will be a break in period.
Which works better, Gel or memory foam?
It really depends on if you are wanting your sitting position changed. The Impact Gel works great if you are wanting to maintain your current riding position and the memory foam allows us to reshape the seat more to move your riding position around better so if your comfortable with your sitting position I would recommend the Impact Gel pads and if you want to change your riding position then one of the memory foam modifications.
