Default Comfort
I have a stock 2008 Road King Classic. I sit just above the windshield and I get a loud, uncomfortable, wind buffet. I want a lower seat with a backrest, that leans back instead of forward, getting me below the top of the windshield; handlebars that come back to accommodate leaning back. Crash bar foot pegs would be a nice touch too. Any suggestions?

Find something that makes you comfortable....otherwise you'll look for excuses NOT to ride.

OK, thanks for that… sorry if I confused you guys... let me put it this way… I’m interested in a Sundowner, you have a Sundowner, how high does the driver seat measure from the ground? Is it lower, or higher, that the stock seat? In YOUR opinion, do YOU like it?

I have and love the Sundowner deep bucket seat. It sits you lower than the stock seat and provides you some back support.
