I have 4 seats for my Switchback
- Stock
- HD Tallboy
- Mustang Wide Touring Solo w/ backrest and pillion
- Corbin Classic Solo w/ backrest and pillion
My wife also has a Switchback and she runs the Sundowner solo and pillion (riding position is different than the Sundowner dual)
Once in a while my wife rides with me on the back. She's 5'9" w/ 30" inseam. According to her, if you can handle the increased height, the Tallboy is THE most comfortable for the passenger of the seats I have, with the Mustang a close 2nd. She rode on the Corbin once and ....never again. I've never ridden on the back of her bike, but have to say, how the Sundowner solo connects to the pillion gives me the heebie jeebies. It is a plastic tab that looks flimsy. Comparatively, the Mustang uses a metal tang that slides into a formed metal bracket for very high stability.
Some rider ride position notes....
- Sundowner dual - Moves rider up 1" and forward 1"
- Sundowner Solo - Moves rider up 1" and back 1"
- Tallboy - Moves rider up 1.75" and back 2"
- Corbin Classic Solo - Moves rider down 1-1.5" and back about 2"
- Mustang Wide Touring Solo - Moves rider up slightly, maybe 0.5-1" and slightly back, maybe 0.5"

Interesting. Didn't realize this about the saddlehyde. Was seriously thinking about checking out a Saddleman, but this gives me serious pause.

the rear section will absorb some in heavy rain
