My girl says her **** still gets a little sore on longer trips, but it's the "normal" sore **** you get from riding long distance on a Sporty... not that we-have-to-stop-now-'cause-my-tailbone-is-absolutely-killing-me thing.

My wife hasn't complained about the Sundowner yet, but she hasn't ridden that far on it yet--only 3-4 hours. The additional benefit is that YOU will love the Sundowner. I've spent up to 10 hours on it with no soreness at all. It's a great seat IMHO. BTW, my sig pic was taken on Skyline Drive north of the Sperryville/Rte 211 cutoff. If you get to 211 around lunchtime, get off the Drive and head toward Sperryville. Nice twisties on 211 and great BBQ at High on the Hog in Sperryville.
And pack a camera.

Have you considered renting a bike built for taking trips instead.
The wife and you both would do well to add the cost of renting a more travel worthy machine. Last I looked 4 days on a late model glide is around $150 a day. Live a little and seriously look into it.
And I don't mean to "dis" anybody's ride! If you can go hundreds of miles on your Sportster for several days without wrecking your body ... more power to you.
