Default sundowner for street glide?

i have a 09 street glide. had mean city cut down seat cause im so short legged and its worked fine but i wonderd if the sundowner is lower than stock street glide seat? reason i thought about change was tha passenger section looks like it may be little more comfy for the wife. any one switch to the sundowner from stock street glide seat? if so did it sit lower than the stock seat?

I put a Sundowner on my Street Glide a few weeks ago.

It does seem to bring me down and forward just a bit than the stock seat.

Have you looked at a Reach seat? May not have the look you want tho as it isn't low profile like the street glide seats.

Got one, wife loves it. I will have it cut down a bit, but wife loves the wider back seat and we ride long distances. Great seat.

Seems like mine did bring me lower. Either that or I am just used to it. Now the stock seat seems to raise me up.

I like my Sundowner, but if it lowered me it wasn't much. I might send mine to Mean City and get some memory foam put in. Overall it's a good seat. If you are having trouble getting flat feet on the ground then maybe look at the reach.
