Limited's equiped with the regular ElectraGlide Seat.Those are fine seats,put plenty of miles on it..I'd have stayed with it but I'm narrow across the hips and like the Sundowner better.I'll bet the back rests feel nice but the way my a$$ fits down into the seat both the stock EGlide seat and the Sundowner give some pretty good lower back support to me as is.Limited's a nice choice,congrats & welcome to HD's.

I had a Nightrain,did lots of long rides with my ElectraGlide friends back then.Honestly I think the crappy softail suspension bothered me more than the Badlander seat but for my passengers bar hopping at best.

Tell your wife that my wife says she'll love it ! lol

I put one on my RK and immediately did a 600 mile trip...what a difference! A lot more support on my tailbone/very low back area, even comfortable without a rider's backrest. Good choice, Sir.

Thanks

I noticed the label on the box this morning says the seats are assembled in the USA with materials from USA and Mexico.Good deal,I like seeing them keep the bikes and parts as American as possible no matter what I'm purchasing.

Were you having trouble with your tailbone?? Mine kills me, still have the stock seat which I have taken apart and tried to fit to my butt. Don't really want to spend the $$ on the Zep seat. Sat on the Sundowner at a dealership and it did seem to relieve the pressure point I feel on the stock seat.

Love my Sundowner as well! I have done several 500 mile day runs with no complaints...

I have also added the Mustang Driver's backrest - works great with the Sundowner and looks good to boot!

I was wondering if anyone had experience with the sun ray heated seat.With all the positive coments on the sundowner it's to bad there isn't a heated option with the comfort level of the sundowner!

I sure love my Sundowner seat. So does the wife. In fact, she was the biggest reason for the purchase.

It's not just comfort,it's also a really nice looking seat on an FL....
Flows really well with the lines of the bike,if I had purchased a StreetGlide and wanted to ride 2 up swapping that nice sleek looking SG seat for a Sundowner wouldn't have bothered me at all.

Gonna have to get an updated signature pic

I had no problem with stock (flhx) seat, one of the few I guess who didn't but my girlfriend DID so i bought a Sundowner and have to admit other than pushing me forward about 1" it is a really comfortable seat
