Seat options??
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

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.
