I put a hammock seat on my bike and I am happy with it...but mostly I bought it for the wide back seat which my wife really likes...

I'll NEVER buy another Sundowner!
Although it's very comfortable, the stitching is pulling apart, and Harley won't do anything about it because it's past its 90-day warranty. I bought the seat in the Fall of 2010, rode for a while, then put it away for our Minnesota Winter. This Spring, I noticed the defect and took it in. I only had 5,000 miles on the seat.
Dealer took a picture, sent it to HD. HD said they weren't going to be able to help me. I spent a good amount of money for the seat and am very disappointed with the lack of customer service.

I sent mine to Mean City Cycles and they reshaped the pan and replaced the stock foam with hospital grade memory foam. It is cheaper than a new seat, retains the original look and their customer service is awesome. I went from hurting at 200 miles to be able to do 600 miles, no problem. Had a Sundowner on my Heritage and it was nice but not nearly as nice as the Mean City job on my RKC.
