Definitely not the same as my 12 rkc. The passenger pillion on my stock seta was 9" wide. That's why there is a LePera continental on now. 16" wide passenger pillion. I looked at sundowner at the dealer. Wider passenger area (14") but still sat me too far forward. Opted for the LePera. Quite a bit firmer than Harley or mustang but I like that. Also about 2x more money for LePera

Definitely not.I bought a sundowner after having lower back pain after long rides.With the stock seat I could only ride about an hour before my back and tail bone would start to ache and would have to stop and take a break,with the sundowner I can go at least 2hrs and with a back rest installed I can go without stopping between fuel stops. The sundowner seat foam seems to be a lot more supportive than the stock seat. You could probably get the stock seat changed to suit you but it's probably cheaper just to replace it. There are a lot of good deals on ebay and other web sites out there if your patient. I paid 120 bucks for my new sundowner on ebay about 18 months ago.

The sundowner seems to be a good seat BUT .
I sent my stock RK seat to MeanCity Cycle .
I had them lower and narrow it and add memory foam for comfort .
Turned out great super comfey .
Way CHEAPER than buying a new seat .
My total cost including shipping both ways was just under $150.
You can have them change your seating position forward or back ect .
Just call and tell them what mods you want and get a price.
I have rode many 550 mile days NP.
