so i did around 250 miles Saturday and i knew the seat was a keeper as soon as i got to the corner of my block. besides it being comfortable all day, the best part is when i hit the big bumps on the highway at 70 miles an hour, i didn't get that cringing pain from my *** up to my neck. the seat absorbs the bumps like a touring bike. now another friend just took off his 2016 street glide shocks and said i can have those for free also. i should be pretty comfortable this summer. this seat by far is the best sportster seat i've put on the bike in regards to comfort and looks. i've been through at least 12 and have 5 left. i might not take this one off.

Glad to hear it made for a comfortable ride! Certainly not a cheap seat, but I believe they're one of the best seats on the market.

the seat looks good on the bike. my eyes are first drawn to the big front tire, not the seat

That engine looks great with those rocker covers. Who makes those? They really make it look like a panhead. Very well done, sir! I've always loved panheads for some reason.

I've got the butt ugly solo Sundowner. It's comfortable, but with all the praise of this one, I may have to give it a try.

Good looking bike. I recently put a Mustang solo seat on mine as well. Much better than stock.

I have the sundowner and the MVS seats

Sundowner doesn't even go on for touring now
