Skully, I bought a Sundowner and traded it here for a Tallboy. Virtually the same seat except that the Sundowner felt like it was pushing me farther forward than stock and the Tallboy pulls you back from stock a little bit. Both very comfortable for rider and passenger but I still prefer to make my fun runs with a lower stock style seat. The Tallboy gives me enough leg room but the padding puts me up higher than I really want to be.

Pic of bike with seat below. Can't even remember, nor could I tell you if this was the Sundowner or the Tallboy. I'll put it this way, my wife doesn't know I traded and she's never noticed or mentioned a thing about it.

I have the mustang squareback, really like it. It is very comfortable and has good lower back support.

Mustang Vintage Solo worked for me. Comes off quickly when there is a need for 2.

I like Mustang seats, this is the second one I have bought. The quality is excellent and they made in the USA in Connecticut. I can ride on it all day my wife likes it too, we have rode many 300-400 mike days on it.

I bought a LePera Silhouette seat. Honestly, I bought it for its looks, but the thing is a whole lot more comfortable than I expected.

It lets me move around a lot more than the stock seat did. (6'4", '07 Super Glide)
