The sundowner is the best I've tried out of 4. I had an ultimate on a VTX and it was great, but judging from the pics on their web site it doesn't look to good on the SG.

I've had them all: stock seat, Tallboy seat with gel and foam mods, Mustang (previous bike), Corbin and Russell Day Long.

The Corbin was good, but my wife didn't like it, and I still got butt burn after 400 miles.

I got my Russell Day Long about six weeks ago, and if you're looking for long distance comfort, this is the best seat I've ever had. They custom make it for you (you send in pics of you sitting on the bike), and it fit perfectly.

If you're looking for a sleek, low profile seat, this ain't it. But if comfort is your priority, give it a try.

The downside is that you have to send in your old seat, and they build it from the pan up. So you're without a seat for a while even though you don't send it in until the production date. They aren't cheap either, but the best usually isn't.
