Default *Update*

So I put a few miles on the new seat today and I'm loving it. More cushion. Slides me back a bit and is wider. Overall, very pleased. And of course this post would be worthless without pics.

Before on top.

I recently installed the Mustang seat with a backrest. Haven't been on a long ride yet but my local jaunts have been awesome. It gets more comfortable with each ride. Enjoy!

I'm assuming it has to be a harley product cause you got a gift card? Try the brawler if you looking for looks and day to day comfort. It won't push you forward like some of the more cushy seats.
Regarding the Sundowner....


Sundowner Dual - Moves the rider forward 1" and up 1"


Sundowner Solo - Moves the rider rearward 1" and up 1"


I've test ridden the Dual and did not like it. Felt cramped.
My wife has the Solo on her FLD and I really like that one. Seating position is noticeably different between the two.


I'm running a Mustang Wide Touring w/ backrest (although am not using the backrest anymore) and like it.


If you're a big guy, the Sundowner solo and the Tallboy seat especially would fit you well. The Tallboy was the 1st seat I actually bought and it moves the rider up 2" and back 1.75". Not sure you're going to find seats that reposition the rider as dramatically as the Tallboy.
