I like the fit of the Sundowner and the wife likes it too. However that Mustang seat looks really nice as well. A real condumumdundrum you have yourself there. Good luck on your choice I'm sure you will be happy no matter.

That seat from amazon is not the same as the wide vintage the OP is looking for. It`s just the "vintage"

The seat on my SG was good for short rides but not comfortable for me for long rides. I ordered a Sundowner from my local dealer and we discovered that the one I had was a Sundowner that a previous owner had put on when I went to pick it up. The dealer kept the seat and it did not cost me anything. I got the same Mustang seat you are looking at, the Mustang Wide Vintage, from Two Guys for around $350 and I have found that it is far more comfortable for me for those long rides. Hey, but everybody's *** is different. What worked for me may not work for you. Good luck.

Thanks everyone. I sat on the Sundowner demo seat at a dealer today. It was comfortable but it raised me up enough that I didn't like how it felt when I put my feet on the ground. I wasn't as sure-footed. I'm 6' tall and I don't see how anyone shorter than me could use it.
So I still don't know what to do....

The thing I like the most about the Mustang Wide Vintage with the passenger seat is that the passenger seat gives a little more support for the lower back than the Sundowner. That was my biggest complaint about the Sundowner, my lower back and butt just could not take more than 2 hours in the saddle before I had to get off and walk around.
Since the OL don't want to ride with me, (and I am OK with that...) when I get around to repainting, I am going to go with a solo Mustang Wide Vintage with the back rest...
