Default Badlander or Sundowner?

Hi guys,

-Badlander or Sundowner?
I wonder what which seat of them will look better on a 05 Black Deuce...

-With or Without Passenger?
What do you think about the Black and Chrome Solo Seat?

-If With Passenger...
Should I install the Rider Back Rest or it'll look ugly?


P.S. : I'm planning to install Black Leather Saddlebags Later.

Thank You.

I have the HD Sundowner with Touring backrest on my Deuce. The big back pad looks a little out of place. I think just the seat would look better.
The setup is much better for a passenger. The rider position is a little higher. Does not hurt the backside too bad, I never really had a problem with the stock seat though.

Check out Mustang Seats. Lots of options.

I bought a Sundowner for my new bike. I'm sure my kids will want to ride, and I can't see them sitting on that "sample" seat the Badlander provides.

I have the sundowner on a black 02 duce a much better seat than orignal, better back support, but I love the look of the chrome solo seat.

Thank guys.

I'll go for the Badlander and maybe for the Chrome Solo Seat if the difference in price not too much between the first one and the second, But mostly it'll be the Badlander.

Thanks again.

If you simply want a seat that looks good, definitely the Badlander. However, if you want a seat that's actually functional (i.e. a passenger can ride with you), go with just about anything other than a Badlander.
