I put the sundowner on my standard and love it. My wife commented that the seat was better than the stock. However I don't think she will be happy until we get an Ultra. That is good news on my end.

worth the money for sure. Wife loves the sundowner....had one on every bike i've owned (for trips and 2-up only)
Not the best looking seat because of it's large size imho but very comfy.

Got a follow up question if anyone is still listening. I have also been looking at this seat for some time, but I found two different ones in the on-line Harely catalog. They were different in price by I think 30 or 40 bucks. Is there any difference? Does anyone know? And if there is, which one do I want.
