Loved the Sundowner on my 1200 Custom. I put about 8000 miles on it and spent 10-12 hours in it on some days. I'm 6'2" and 215 and I never had ANY discomfort.
On my RKC I have a Tallboy, which is designed after the Sundowner, but moved me back 2 inches, which I needed on the Road King. (The forwards on the Sporty took care of the leg length issue.)
The '06 883C I previously owned came with one on it. I bought a $50 standard Sportster seat off of CL to replace it since I just used the 883 to commute. I still have it and I agree, it's a very comfortable seat. It fits on my '05 1200C and I'll use it for longer trips.
well then I am in the market for one....... 2up. anything to be done about the loose wiggle?
I have yet to play with it but I would imagine you could make a bracket that attaches the sides of the seat to the seat pan. I'm moving throughout this week so I'll have little time to mess around with it
I am 5' 9" and 205, I rode my then new 1200C about a quarter of a mile with the stock seat, then put the Sundowner on. I had bought the Essential Riders Kit with the bike so the windshield, sissy bar and Sundowner came home with it. I hauled the bike home in a friends trailer since didn't have my M on the drivers license yet. For some one to say they sat through the Sundowner, well. Here I am crossing a stone bridge in Custer Park, SD, what a beautiful place.

But Colonial Beach, VA, where you are from is also a beautiful place! My wife and I rode down there in December!
