Default Sundowner seat

Just ordered a Sundowner seat. Looking for feedback on how passengers like it. Mainly got it to make the wife more comfy. This is going on a 2017 RK.

Well my wife likes it. Most HD dealers have demo seats that you can try before you buy. Mine let me demo a Sundowner for a few days to see how I'd like it. I got it to replace the stock seat on my 2016 SGS. The pic in my sig is the Sundowner.

Had one on my Sportster and loved it. Have a TallBoy, which is essentially a Sundowner that moves me back 2 inches on my RKC. Have put 50,000 miles on the TallBoy and still love it. I put in lots of miles and long days and it's still very comfortable. And I'm 62 years old.

You will be very comfortable and so will your wife.

Yeah my dealer has them and I tried it today without my wife ( she was working).. so I ordered it without her trying it . I figure if she didn't like it my next post would be " Looking for room to rent",LOL.. But looks like I made the right choice so . Thanks for the input..Much appreciated !

I picked up a standard Sundowner from a friend who upgraded to the version with a backrest. My wife and I both like it. It does set me just a bit forward and higher than the standard Low Rider seat does, but not enough that it bothers me. They're easy enough to swap that I use the stock seat for commuting and the Sundowner when we're riding two up.

Edit: I see the OP posted that he ordered one while this thread was sitting on cue on my computer. I bet both he and his wife will like it.
