Sort of depends on how far you plan on riding. If you're trying to make a touring bike out of the Deuce, I'd suggest that you're in for some dissapointment - as was I. I went with the HD Sundowner, but it wasn't comfortable for the wife at all. For me, it was great, but then the stock seat wasn't that bad. I put on Progressive suspension, and a 2:1 exhaust so that I could move the heat away from her feet. I also sent the Sundowner in and had gel and extra foam added to the rear. In the end, I just bought a BMW for two up riding and solo'd the Deuce. I could have saved myself a bunch of bucks if I hadn't tried to make the Deuce into what it wasn't designed for. But then again, I've never been accused of being the sharpest marble in the jar. Good luck though.

I have a sundowner on my fatboy for two-up. My wife hates teh sidekick and she did not like the stock fatboy seat. she is a smaller lady and loves the sundowner. I have heard people say the gel packs heat up in the sunlight and make them to hot to sit on. the sundowner is not asexy seat but its not awful either. I see lots of them used on ebay.

Greetings,

I got the Mustang Daytripper seat when I had my Night Train and never got any complaints from female passengers. It seems like the passenger part of the seat is thicker than the driver part of the seat. They are kinda pricey, but was well worth it!

The SunDowner seat is the quickest way in the world to make your Deuce BUTT UGLY !!! I know , first hand experience . Much better comfort wise for the wife , not so for me especially when you have to put your feet down . The molded in support digs right into your upper thigh / butt .

I solo on the stock seat but purchased the Sundowner for my wife. She likes it just fine.

Agree on the butt ugly bit, but not on the discomfort part. The seat fits me well, but I can see how it might not be for everyone. I like the seat from the comfort standpoint, no passenger complaints either.
