Sundowner Seat for Fat Boy

I need to change my seat and am looking for a bit more back support. I tried the Signature Series but it pushed me too far forward.

Does anyone use a Sundowner? Does it change the rider position much?

The 00-06 Sundowners move you back and lower compared to stock with some back support. Great for long rides and 2up. A HUGE improvement! Dont know how the wider tire Sundower fits.

That sounds perfect. My seat is a well worn Mustang Vintage and after a couple of hundred miles I'm done. Thank you.

I bought a custom Corbin gunfighter off another member but I don't use it and I am looking to sell it. PM me if you want more info.

I use a sundowner on my 07 FB. though not sold completely on its looks, it does a helluva job in back support and passenger comfort. it was a little stiff at first, but now its formed to me and feels great. if i have a sore back from working all i need to do is get on the bike and ride about 5 miles or so and it feels great. the seat is a little narrower then the factory fatboy seat and it will move you back and down into the bike so its not for short people. i'm 5'10" with a 30-31 inseam.

Thanks for the offer but it isn't what I'm looking for.

I have a lightly used sundowner you could have for $100 plus shipping. this is off a 200 rear tire, though. not sure if any issues there... The seat does set you back and lower and is quite comfy. I no longer need the two up configuration so the seat is available.......
