I am definately in the minority, but I bought a Sundowner for my 1200 Low because my wife hated riding as a passenger on the stock seat.&nbsp\\; She LOVES the Sundowner, but i am not so sure that I didn't prefer the original seat as driver.

I have the Mustang solo seat and can ride all day without discomfort. The stock seat is like sitting on a log
