Default Corbin or Sundowner?

Was looking for advice about upgrading my 09 RK seat for 2up riding. I think the sundowner looks better than the corbin I I want comfort rather than looks.

I love the Sundowner, but, as you will hear over and over again, it's really about personal preference . . .I'm a little over 200#; honey is 90'ish . . so, for us, the Sundowner is perfect. . .

I know lots of people that like their Corbins but to me, they always felt too hard. I have had a Sundowner on my bike for years and love it. The only seat I have rode on that was more comfortable was a Rich's Custom made saddle costing three times as much.

Two totally different animals there. Sundowner is a much softer seat than the corbin. Only you can answer which one will suit you better.

Never had a Corbin, but did have a Sundowner. I now have a Mustang Touring Seat. My advice is to call Mustang and deal with them directly. Customer Service is fantastic.

I put the Sundowner on my Street Glide and it provides me with way better back support than the stock seat, also way more comfortable for a passenger.

Very happy with my Sundowner, too - but I haven't ridden with a Corbin.
