Default New Sundowner solves problems :)

Well, finally installed my sundowner 2 piece seat on my 06' RK classic during a day of 60 degree weather here in NY, After going for a test drive I noticed the new seat solves a couple of problems for me. First its more comfortable than stock, 2nd My feet are now flat on the grnd when stopped, and 3rd and most surprising is the stock handlebars now feel absolutely perfect! I dont feel any tension in my arms or back or feel like i'm "reaching" for the bars any longer. Quite a surprise for me and saves me some cash by not having to buy bars. So if you are thinking of getting a new seat and bars, try the seat first as it may save you a couple of bucks. FYI I'm 5'8" with a 30inch inseam for comparison purposes only... -John
