I have the Harley pillowtop touring seat. I like but admit I like the look of the Sundowner better.

1st mod I made to my Sporty's...I got it more for the lower back support (I have a bad back) and it works just great.

I love my SD. If you wanna really sweeten up the ride now, put a set of air shocks on the rear.

The Sundowner was my third attempt at a comfy seat for the road. After a day from Dallas to New Orleans, next day on to Orange Beach, on to Vicksburg on the third day, and back to Dallas on the fourth I sold it on Ebay within a week. It feels real nice for about an hour until your butt sinks through all that comfyness and stops at the seat pan. Two seats later I ended up with the Mustang solo and have'nt looked at another since. I keep the Badlander for two up trips to the bar which the misses does'nt do anyway but at least I can say it's her choice.

It does wiggle a little bit but I haven't noticed it on the road. I bought this seat used with 1200 miles on it already. I feel like it has quite a bit of support in it but I'll keep you updated as the miles pass. I ride at least 20 daily.
