Question Deluxe Sundowner Seat

Trying to make the ride a little more comfortable for the long distance rides for me and the lady. Been thinking about getting the Sundowner seat made for the Deluxe. Would like to hear from the folks who have this seat. Is it comfortable? Does it provide good back support? How's the comfort for the passenger? Thanks!

i just bought this seat about 1 week ago for my standard. it is not the best looking seat but it has great back support for the driver. i got the seat with no backrest for the driver. the passenger (my girlfriend) has had no complaints yet. compared to my stock seat it is 200% better.

fwiw - I was at the dealership the other day asking them about seats. They will allow you to return a seat within three days of purchase as long as it looks new.

Thanks for the info guys. I love the stock seat look but I've decided I will use the sundowner for the longer rides and two-up. For bike nights and bar hopping, I will keep ride with the "cooler" looking stock seat.
