Default opinions needed on Sundowner Solo

Been looking at the Sundowner Solo and passenger Pillion setup. Anyone with this seat combo could you give me some feedback on the comfort of it?

I want something the wife and I can ride on for more than an hour at a time.

What exempted it from my list of solo seats was the fact that you can't attach a rider backrest. I opted instead for the Mustang 79100.

That's good feedback. I knew that about the seat and really didnt mind.

I dare to ask this but how would you rate the Mustang 75459 and Pillion compare to this Sundowner?

maybe I'm wrong but the Pictures of the Mustang look like the rider seat is about the same thickness of my stocker. I'm sure it has better foam?

Sundowner two up is fantastic. The solo version though does not compare. I got about an hour out of mine riding and it felt like I was back on the stock seat.

Now I have a solo fromwww.ccseats.com with a pillion for emergencies then switch to the Sundowner two-up for longer rides.

Mean City Cycles, had the double layer of foam done, widened the passenger section. Tried the Sundowner full size seat, hurt my back, sent back to Zanotti's for full credit. Purchased the solo sundowner and like it, mean time sent stock seat to Allen,I like the stock seat style so it works for me, over 1200 miles on the new seat and could not be happier.
