Default Candy Butt

I cannot begin to tell you how much I enjoy riding my Street Glide. It's a great machine. On Sunday I went on a 130 mile ride. It was a great ride. But I did notice the seat getting a little hard as the day went on. In fact it was hard. So I think I am going to buy a Sundowner seat. Do you think this would help? May be it was in my head. Or maybe I am becoming a Candy Butt.

I have no regrets on buying a HD Pillow like seat for mine! Much more comfy.

Everybody is different what is comfortable for one person might not be for another.
The stock seat to me is to soft, I like the Corbin seats which are much harder.
That is all I have ever had on all of my bikes.

Sounds like you are having a good time... just keep riding...

I can recommend the Sundowner as very comfortable. Same legroom as stock. Much better for passenger as well.

Second bike, second Sundowner. Did 198 comfy miles yesterday on my new one.

Walk, do not run and get yours today. You will not be disappointed.

Make sure to get the one designed for the SG with the same perforated seat pattern as the original.

I actually like the stock set so far and I've done a 2hrs straight on the bike before. IF I decide to change it will only be because the lil lady's seat isn't comfortable for her.
