Stock RK Classic was noce and soft but after awhile you sank to the frame. I had the seat pulled apart and gel installed in both parts. It is a bit stiffer but there is no point of pressure. Totally even rest. 150 miles burns buy with no monkey butt at all. Except that it was over 100 degrees in Havasu that day.
Have wanted to change seats for a while but did not know what to go too. The sundowner in the HD book looked very big! called several dealers around me and found one that stocked the sundowner. Drove 1 hr and 15min to check it out and the dealer told me if I bought it they had a 30 day return. If I did not like it to bring it back. Great deal. I installed it and took it for a ride to day. So far the seat seems great!!! It moves me back alittle more and may lower me alittle bit, and for the looks it is very sleek looking the passenger seat is lowered a good inch. I almost went with a roadglide seat off of ebay, but I am very glad I made the trip to check out the sundowner. Fits great on my ultra.

What bike do you have and what is the model # of the Sundowner you bought?
My bike is a 05 ultra that I put the new sundowner on. Model#51542-01B The seat really looks different than whats in the book. Looks sleeker than stock, but much more cumfy. Put close to 200 miles on it in the last two nights and I can"t say enough good things about it. seat puts me back in the bike. My wife likes it as well. The seat fits much better at the gas tank as well. It's a keeper!!
