So does mine. My daughter likes it, too. I like the Touring seat better than the Sundowner.

If there's a bike rally near you, you might get lucky to find Mustang there with a booth, like I did.

I've notched rigid sideplates for my bike and use thin plastic cutting sheets when I take the backrest on and off, to protect the fender, although I didn't take it off at all last season - daughter really likes riding with us. Mrs. Grind has her own bike (something to consider ).

I've also got the biggest backrest pad. Wife and daughter like it sooooo much better than the narrow pad.

Here's the HD touring seat - seems similar to the Sundowner but then again I havn't seen one. Regardless, its an inch narrower front and back.

that’s exactly what i was hoping to hear. And I’m sure my driver will feel relieved too!


About HD sundowner and touring seats, have you experienced problems mounting detachable side plates? I was reading in the forum that a guy was having difficulties with the touring seat, even though p51bombay's photo shows not...
