Went from the Badlander to the Rallyrunner with a couple others in between, including a Sundowner and a Mustang. For the same purpose you are looking - a better ride for the passenger.
The Rallyrunner turned out to be the nest of both worlds - fairly sleek looking seat and fairly passenger friendly. The Sundowner was butt ugly and the Mustang fit was poor.
Don't expect all-day comfort for the passenger on the Rallyrunner; but, it is leaps and bounds better than a Badlander- plus its all leather!
Thanks for the reply. I also the sundowner was going to look horrible on the night train and I figured the extra 3 inches of width would make it a little more comfortable. Again Thanks.
