Default Sundowner seat for 18 fat bob

Just wondering, has anyone tried out the hd Sundowner seat for the 18 fat bob? I'm thinking it's a little wider and maybe more cushy? I know the passenger portion is wider but not sure on rider portion. I may be in the minority but the stock seat for me is a little narrow and just not very comfortable and I'm not a big guy, 5-11 AND 185 lbs. Thanks.

Got it, love it.

I intended to use the Sundowner just for two-up, but I leave it on about 98% of the time even for solo riding. It is a little better overall, yes, but it contributed noticeably to reducing vibrations felt through the seat. The stock seat transmitted a lot more vibration, the Sundowner masks a lot of that and really transforms the ride.

It does nothing for the looks of the bike, the passenger section is gigantic and doesn't really fit the "bobber" style of the Fat Bob, but ... it's 1,000,000 times more comfortable for the passenger, and probably 2x more comfortable for the rider.

Try it before you buy it, see what you think. Most bigger Harley dealers should have one in their demo seat program. That's what I did, and I was immediately sold.
