Seat

Yes, I aquired a sundowner as well. It has made a big difference. I do not ache like I did with the stock seat. I went on a 160 mile trip this past weekend and my butt felt like I had just gone down the road a bit. I could easily do 300+ miles and not feel to tired.

I had a corbin seat, on a prevoius bike and I loked it. My factory HD seat I have know is fairly nice though.

I just replaced my 03 Huggers stock seat with a Corbin Solo Hollywood. Drops the profile was down by 2 inches or so. Since it's new, it's a bit stiff, but I've been assured that with time and miles, it'll soften a bit and contour to my backside.

I have the '08 Sporty Low 1200 and bought the Sundowner. My wife is MUCH happpier riding on the back, but I am NOT liking it at all. It has moved me closer to the bars, and my ass aches after 1/2 hour. YMMV, because most people seem to love the seat.

We bought the Sundowner to get a better 2-up seat for my wife. Unfortunately it moved me forward and up and that just didn't work for me.

I took it to a local upholstery shop and they were able to modify the seat to move me down and back while still leaving it comfortable for the wife. I think they only charged me about $80 for the work. We're both happy now at least for rides of about an hour.
