Default seat option

Im looking at replacing my stock seat on a 06 heritage with a sundowner deep bucket. Mainly looking for a little more back support and comfort for longer trips and dont really have the $500 to buy a mustang w/back rest. Will this deep bucket give me that extra support?

Any advice is appreciated!

Thanks

Have a Sundowner Deep Bucket on my Low Rider and it does give the support and comfort I was looking for.

I'm not sure if I can actually "lean back" but it does give good support.

Default How about for a Deluxe?

I was looking at the same Sundowner seat for my Deluxe.

Anybody have any feedback on the Deluxe Sundowner seat?

If U ride solo, I took my stock pillion and made a rear fender bib and back support out of it.

I got the wife the new touring seat and backrest, so stock seat was lying around.

Its almost 7" high and its great for back support...
