I have never gotten along with the 07 seat on my 06. I always slide up on the air box cover, it hurts after an hour and there is this hard spot in the middle wish just rubs me wrong so I sent it off to Spencers Motorcycle seat mods. For $90 he flatten it out and put in this hi tech honeycomb foam in it. His service is great, 48 hour turn around.
I will not know how well it works for a while since I really do not like riding when the temp is under 30. But from a short ride it feels good, softer then stock we shall see.
No photos, it looks just like the stock seat only the foam was changed.

I'm real curious how it works out for you. Considering having mine done. Butt and lower back get a little sore after a few hours in the saddle on my 06 with stock hight seat.

Hi,

I tried for over a year to get Spenser at greatdaytoride to respond to my four or five emails and couple of telephone calls. I then searched the web and saw that others had the same issue. I gave up after the last attempt last Fall. How did you get in contact with him?

I just sent him an E-Mail, I got a reply same evening.
He has done a few Uly seats and has standard mod that he does.
Though a friend of mine had the same experience as you did. He went with Sergeant to redo his Uly seat and is very happy with it. Maybe when he has a lot of work he just ignores his e-mail.

XPS Racing in Florida does good work. I believe they have done a Uly before. I am thinking about using them when I get ready for a re-do

Where is XPS Racing? I've considered Sargent up in Jacksonville (2 hrs away) but if XPS is closer to me, I'd go talk to them.

I had Spencer rework my '06 Low seat that was on my '06 Uly. When I traded the '06 in on the '08 XT, I kept the seat and had it recovered to match the Racing Red Plastics.
It now looks really good and feels really good, as well.
I like Spencer's work, and he has excellent prices.
(Wachusett Seat Covers does some nice work, as well)
