I wish I could borrow a sundowner seat to try on my '04 FLHTC.
I read where the sundowner is about two inches narrower than my stock seat.
I don't know if that would help or hinder my G/Fs ride, and like Matk...I don't want to buy a multiple hundreds of dollars worth of seats until I find one that fits.
My G/F and I rode three hours this past weekend and she did well.
On the way home....same three hour ride, she was figiting after hour and a half.
When we got home, she said the ride BACK was about an hour too long.
I have heard good things about Sundowner seats.....and also Mustang seats. Sure would hate to buy one just to have it hang on my shed wall.

Seats
As someone said everyone is different. I have a Mustang on my dresser and love it.I have used them in the past always liked them no issues. I believe you can return them within 30 days if you don't like the seat.
What ever you get it will take 4 or 500 miles to see if you like it or not.

We can all tell you what we like but your butt is just that...your butt. I am big fan of Mustang seats.
I have the one piece smooth ultra touring seat on my RG. I had the regal version on my UC.
