It's the stock seat from an 08 Road King Classic. I have the same seat on my 08 RKC. The seat is comfortable, at least for me. Add a drivers backrest and it really feels good!

Based upon the basket weave in the fabric, it may be a stock RK/RKC seat, but it is most assuredly NOT a Sundowner seat!

Bro....whatever it is, it might not be worth messing with. If you spend any appreciable time in the saddle, you'll want a better than stock seat. Yeah, the stocker may be great for some but not necessarily for you. Think about how they're made.....for the "average" human *** at the cheapest possible production cost that will appeal to the masses without costing too much to manufacture. If you ride a lot, go get a custom seat...matched to your *** in whatever leather or design you want, gel, memory foam, etc. Expensive....yup, but worth every dime in my book. Think about it, it's the connection point between you and the bike....better comfort/control combined with less pain/fatigue means a MUCH better riding experience. I've been running the same one from Rich's for nine years....still perfect. Consider it an investment that really doesn't cost much more than a one-size-fits-all saddle solution.
