I'm planning a road trip from NJ to Nova Scotia this summer on my Heritage and think it may be wise to swap out my stock seat for something better on the back and rear. My first choice was the mustang but the $900+ price tag has me looking at the Sundowner at less than $300.
Any Sundowner owners disappointed with the seat?. Is it alot better than the stock seat and pillion.

You could have the stock seat modified. Mean City Cycles has a good price and reputation. The link: http://www.meancitycycles.com/index.php

Not a lot better IMO. I put a Sundowner on my 07 Heritage a few weeks ago. I actually think stock seat is more comfortable. Sundowner sits me down an inch and forward just a bit and has a little more lower back support. Sundowner has, more or less, the shape I want. I'll probably have someone use it as a starting point to rework it and make it comfortable.

Thanks for the input. Guess I knew there would be a variety of different opinions which reminds me that I probably need to sit on one before throwing down the bucks. Having sat on all the HD bikes I believe the Heritage is the most comfortable stock seat for me. But with lower back problems I'm looking for better support there for longer runs. I did a 250 round trip last week on the Heritage and I was a hurting unit by the end of the day.
