Hi,

Looking for a seat with more comfort and lower back support on my '09 Std Electraglide. .

 Anyone had any experience with Sundowner seat? Are they better than the Stock seat on the '09? Or should I save my $$$ and get a Mustang seat?

Any input appreciated.

this is the big issue berms ...what may suit one persons butt may not suite u

and the seats arent cheap so if u make a mistake it hurts lol

the american forum site has a few threads covering this ..but bottom line is everyone is different

most probably best getting a seat that has the backrest. ...

have thought about such a backrest for long rides myself, but not sure of the look ...image thing lol

Berms, I fitted the Sundowner to my new Road King for the extra width when touring and to appease the cook. The seat is a bucket type and does give extra back support compared to the stock RK seat which I thought was crap for a +30k bike.

But at the end of the day it's "different strokes for different blokes"

Thanks for the feedback.

I Have a Sundowner and matching backrests on my 07 Road King Custom, its like cruising in an armchair.

Lofty

Any chance of throwing some picks up of the backrest ..in its different positions/heights?

I have fitted the Sundowner to my 08 SG and it it makes you sit a little bit further forward but the position is still ok (I am 6'2"). Last Sunday went for a ride to Gingin and Lancelin before heading back to Perth and the site was pretty comfy.

Will put the bride on the back when I finish modifying the backrest to make it taller.

in looking for a seat for my 09 sg been looking at different ones the staff at richardsons hd tassie use sundowners for touring. enough said

g'day berms,

groover got it right, I did the same - wider on the ass, narrower where your thighs go, sits you a bit lower and more forward. missus loves her part of it.
I get a fair bit more lower back support than standard but my backs ok so if you have a dodgy back might do bugger all for you.
I only put the seat on for long trips with the missus and have the original base reshaped and covered if its just me.
I see your from perth so if you want to try it out PM me and you can take it for a week or 2 and see how you go before ordering one. I'll only be using it from the 27th until the 4th this month.

I got a sundowner seat on my 09 RK classic and i can ride the bike all day with out getting a sore ass , Standand seat is crap.

Go for the sundowner.
