Can anyone recommend the most comfortable 2-up seat for a 2010 - 2012 sportster they've come across? I need it to have the same "footprint" on the bike as the one from the factory as I have the side plates for the detachable backrests.
I had a mustang regal duke on my nightster.
Definitely most comfortable seat I have had.
As I don't do a lot of 2 up riding or really long rides
I switched it out with a 48 seat.
Never tried sundowner though.
I have a Sundowner also. It is very good for the passenger. I believe it adds a little height, maybe an inch or so for the operator. When I'm riding solo, I use the stock seat on my Roadster.

I went from Stock to a Mustand Regal tour to a S=undowner on my 05 XL883C and it was by far the best....As a matter of fact i just bought a Sundowner for my FLHTC after 68000 miles and i don't know why i waited so long....
I have a sundowner also that hangs in the garage for times when I want to put over 250 miles or so on the bike. Looks a little "fat" on a sporty, but is comfy for sure.
i have ridden just about every seat made and have had 3 on my sporty... concluded that several are great for me, but its the +2 thats hard to get good butt time for. the best for her is the wide mustang. mustang makes the same seat without all the studs and conchos if you prefer that look--

Buddy,
Is that the mini sissy bar you have on your bike? That appears to be the same as I have and along with comfort I was also concerned that the 2nd seat would work with the "backrest" - more like a buttstop - that I already have if I went with a Sundowner.
