Default What's a good seat for low rider?

Any suggestions on a good comfortable seat for a 2005 Low rider for long rides? Thanks

Last year I put the HD "Pillow-Look" seat on my FXDL and ....holy cr@p...it's like sittin' on AIR!!!! Used to be my butt would get sore after 100 miles...now I can ride all day with no discomfort. AND...it keeps getting more comfortable as it continues to break in. AND...it only costs $200!!! AND....it looks good!!! THe Lumbar Support is GREAT

I went on HD web site & I could not find the pillow look seat like yours. I found the Sundowner, Reach, & the badlander seats

Whoops, I finally found the pillow style seat like yours. It looks like it won't fit my 2005 FXDLI Low Rider.

A word of warning on pillow seat. I tried the HD pillow seat for 04-05 dynas. If you're a big guy it scoots you too far forward and it wasn't any more comfortable than the stock FXD seat. I tried several and the most comfortable seat i found was guess what, a low rider seat!

I use the Sundowner for longer rides, it looks a bit large but is much better than the stock seat, especially for a passenger. I put the stock seat back on for around town, I think it looks better.
I just had some memory foam put in my Sundowner at Mean City Cycle, did not ride it yet so no report.

I've used a Sundowner for a couple of years. Feels good to me. I could not notice any change in riding position.

I had my stock seat stuffed with high density miracle foam by Bar Enterprises in Cali for $240. Very comfy and still looks fine.
