Sundowner for me as well. 5'9" with a 32" inseam. Can easily flatfoot the bike. Much more comfortable than stock, but I did keep the stock seat. May change it out from time to time for a different look. Is the Sundowner leather or not??? Sorry about the question ******, just asking since I saw a small hole in mine Memorial Day weekend and I need to have it fixed.

Mustang Daytripper on an 06 1200c.
I like the low profile look and it is a huge improvement over the stock seat as far as comfort but it is not the best for long distance touringnor is it the best choice for passenger but I don't carry a passenger very often. I am 5' 11" 190lbs with 32" inseam, the Daytripper moved me back about an inch.
My wife has the HD pillow seat on her 99 XL and has no complaints.

Stock XL 50 seat, it is like the 1200R stock seat just somehow a little more comfortable pretty happy with it for stock. My old 883C seat was an upholstered brick

Stock seat with 2,800 miles on it in less than 2 months. I've decided my buns get a little numb after a long haul (100+ miles), so a new seat is on order from C & C Seats (http://www.ccseats.com/sportster2006.htm).
I'll try to post pictures once it gets installed.

RE: Seat recommendations from Sportster Riders
What model did you order from CC? I am trying to decide between the Mustang Fastback and the CC Sport Tour. The Sport Tour is a bit more for leather.
I went to the CC shop and talked to one of the owners on Saturday; I'm leaning towards CC but can't make my mind up.
Can't get many comments regarding either seat. The Mustang vintage is quite popular, but not much info on the fastback.

Bare Bones Solo works great for me and looks SWEEEEET! (Of course, I bicycle as well so my **** is used to seats not found to be otherwise "confortable")
