Default Feedback on Sundowner 2 up

I am looking for some feedback from anyone who has the Sundowner 2 up, good or bad. I am considering one for an 07 fatboy and would like some input before I purchase. Thanks in advance for any help on this.

Steve

i have a sundowner deep bucket two up seat on my dyna superglide and love it. After i bought my bike i rode 500miles one day and said ah this factory seat has got to go. I bought the sundowner and its very comfortable. my bike is an 07 will be two years old next month and i have 30,000 miles and almost all of those have come on the sundowner and iam glad i bought it. Wife likes it alot better than the little factory seat also.

Love mine. Good lower back support and more narrow at the front than stock. I would buy another one.

Very comfortable for me and my daughter. My fiancee finds it less so. I wish it had more back support, and it looked better, but otherwise it's the only seat I use anymore.

Yeah I have one butt ugly and very butt friendly. Rode 9 hours with it. Never a problem.

I have one, I think it is a bit ugly but comfortable. It is 10 times better than the stock seat, in my opinion. The wife loves it compared to a sidekick seat.

I have the Sundowner, and it's comfy alright, but I'm currently selling mine to buy a Badlander.

I had one on my last bike. It was VERY comfortable! However, like most have said, it was not the best looking.

Be careful, you won't take it off once you put it on.
