Kind of depends on how tall you are as to how well the seat will work for you. We get a lot of complaints from taller and larger riders that they feel like the seat pushes them forward on the softail version of the Sundowner.

I have one on my '08 fat boy and looks and rides great. Main reason I got it was for the wife riding on back though.

What badx said might be true, but I'm not a tall person.

I've got a picture of one mounted on my bike in my sig. I have since went to a Mustang with rider backrest. I liked the comfort of the Sundowner, but didn't really care for the look of it.

I had one but it did not provide enough back support for me. Except for the missing backrest, the seat was very comfortable. I must have back support or I cann't ride.... severe bad back. I tried the signature seat from HD with back support and it felt like I was riding on the tank, but I'm a big/tall guy.
