I have a stock FLHX seat on my .....well FLHX. My wife and I are going on a 1000 mile road trip in 20 days. I think today on the way home from work I discovered my back/neck pain stems from my seat. I was told the sundowner seat is a much more comfortable seat. What are your thoughts??? Keep in mind I only have 20 days to get a new seat. I was told 2 weeks for the sundowner with streetglide stitching from chicago hd.

Thanks,

Steve

 

Sundower, best seat HD makes....better hurry and order it

 

I have used the Sundowner on my Sportster...really good...I have a Smooth Mustang Ultra Touring 2 up...little hard to start butt 43000 later...No pun intended ...i like it.

 

I am also in the hunt for a new seat to replace the stock one on my 98 Road King Classic. Want something that isnt a piece of wood, but is thiner/sleeker than the stock seat...

 

I've rode and tried a variety of seats (one was the Sundowner).
A seat alone may not be your only source of problems. I too battle back pain. With the proper handlebar setup, backrest setup and one piece
Mustang Touring seat (17" wide), and a long hair sheepskin
butt pad (I cut from a piece of real sheepskin), I can ride
all day in comfort.

I've had this seat since my Road Glide was new and I have been very, very happy with it.

HD Signature Seriens Solo Touring Seat w/Rider's Backrest



And, Signature Series Touring Passenger Pillion



I did more than 10K on this seat last year. Of that, two trips were more than 2K. Wife did one 2K trip and was able to ride up to 150 miles or so between fuel breaks. She was happy with the seat. The beauty of the seat for me is, I can pull that passenger pillion off in about 5 minutes. I ride around about 95% of the time on just the solo seat.

 

These guys will give you a custom seat with out the custom price made for you with your conditions in your choice of materials, leather, or what ever you want. it will be my next one.

I would also try Zanotti HD out of Bulter, PA https://www.zanottimotor.com/ they will be honest with you (unlike what I have read about Chicago HD)

 

buddy just put a new model mustang 2 piece touring seat on his ultra him and his wife love the comfort, but... it is a bit big,looks better than most overstuffed touring seats.

 

I would not go with a stock HD seat. You have one of those already don't ya?
Sundowners have their issues too.
