Sundowner seat worth it?
#11
At first I was a little concerned with the thinkness of the Sundowner taking away from the looks of the bike. After seeing the Mustang OOORAH posted, I can see that thickness for a touring-style seat probably isn't going to vary much. So.....since the Sundowner has the Spanish lacing and studs like the stocker, that's probably the route I'll take.
BTW, tmitchellof PG, that SE Fat Boy is f'ing killer. How do you like the Ripsaws?

I have deep bucket sundowner..world of difference..on comfort for myself and for my passenger.
And also, world of difference on the look...If I dont have backrest on, its and eye sore, but extremely comfortable. For solo rides, sometimes i switch back to the stock seat, but then i feel the hard ness and pain that makes me hate it, lol.
1inch lower than stock and 1inch forward i believe.

Aside from being a little mislead on the new riding position, I'm 100% happy with the seat and I recommend it. Just be aware that it does move you a little further forward.

It definitely moves you forward. I was a little disappointed about that aspect since I specifically asked the dealer which seat I should get to be moved a little further away from the controls since I'm almost 6'2" and feel a little cramped on the bike at times. The guy assured me that the Sundowner was the seat for me. Anyway, I'm very pleased with the comfort, but it has rendered the heel part of the heel-toe shifter worthless. It's now a totally unnatural movement to kick it down. I guess I'll either be putting on some forward controls or some pegs for high way riding and removing the heel part of the shifter.
