Trade Sundowner for Tallboy????

I bought a new Sundowner seat ([/b]HD [/b]Part number 51540-06)for my 2007 FXDC and used it for about 50 miles. I did not like how it sat me forward 2â€ as I am 6â€™4! Anyone out there have a Tallboy willing to trade for my Sundowner?

If not, I am willing to sell the Sundowner just LMK!

PM me if interested!

Thanks,

Eric

P.S. The Sundowner seat is pictured in my sig pic below.

I had my HD Solo Sundowner modified to fit me and my bike.
Mean City Cycles cut it down and added memory foam.
Iâ€™m very happy with the fit and comfort level.
I also had my stock seat done with the same great results.

RE: Trade Sundowner for Tallboy????

Salty, I was in your shoes a few weeks ago and posted this very same thing here. Amazingly, I found someone willing to trade the same day or day after - we each just paid the shipping to send to each other. I'm also 6'4" and felt the same way on the Sundowner. Very comfortable seat but I felt like it was pushing me forward. "tbone" and I traded and he seems very happy with the Sundowner. I threw the Tallboy on and rode 5 hours to Myrtle Beach and was very happy as well. The Tallboy advertises to move you back 1.75" and up 2". In my opinion, these 2 numbers cancel each other out. I don't really feel like I'm back any further than stock but am not any further forward either. Good luck - sounds like maybe you have a taker. You'll be happy with the trade.

Miked, the Tallboy looks just like the Sundowner - or at least it would appear to in most any picture except maybe a side-by-side taken at the right angles. And Salty already has one of his in this thread. Other than the difference in fitment for me, the only difference I could find was that the bar and shield logo on the sundowner was on the back of the seat ( the part that faces back) and it's larger and on the back support part on the tallboy.
