Sundowner to Badlander (Deuce)
Today I switched out my Sundowner to my new Badlander. I think it looks better, plus I feel more like a part of the bike now that I am sitting "into" the bike and not "on top" of the bike. Take a look:

Man it looks soooo much better. Unfortunately, in my attempt to get my wife to ride with me I had to take off the Badlander and put on a Mustang Solo, passenger seat, and sissy bar. Ugly as sin. I'd rather just buy a bagger for that but....

Dont get rid of the sundowner... i did the same thing, picked up a good one for $100 i dont mind it for 100 mile trips.. but an all day ride the badlander does get to you.. and the gf on the bike did not enjoy the badlander at all... but then i have a sissy bar and bag on the bike of mine so its not terrible looking with the sundowner, but agree looks 100 times better with the badlander....
as far as the reflectors yes, the rear reflectors feel right off, easy clean up with some clearner about 5min a side... just heat with hair dryer...
front ones heat with dryer and peel off, or use fishin line to cut them off... but the front adhesive is more rubberized and took me some time, mixtures of tar/bug remover and some rubbing compound and such... look some eblow grease to get off, but its worth it

Have the Badlander also on my Deuce and like the look and feel. I'm about to do a longer trip on the Deuce instead of the Streetglide so it will be interesting how I feel about the seat then.
