At the dealership they now advised the sundowner, but I honestly don't think it looks that good and I'm not that sure that it's gonna be better.
I have researched and most people seem to go for the saddlemen but that doesn't look that comfortable either, although it looks awesome. What are your opinions? Thanks in advance.
hi, I have a Sundowner saddle and it is very very very comfortable, I only use it when my woman ...

Here is my new Low Rider S, I just turned 500 miles on it. I got the cruise control installed in the deal. I added Custom Dynamics LED signals with smoke lenses, Vance and Hines Dual Slash slip ons and a Kuryakyn lay down plate. I love the bike so far, coming from a Street Glide it is much more maneuverable. I do miss the bags and need something to carry small items. LIke a lot of you, I need to work on the bars and seat. I'm 6'0" and I think I need the bars up higher a bit and back a bit.

Sundowner seat is great. Looks bad at first, but it grows on you.

Default New Seat

Really changes the look of the bike. Stock Low Rider seat, new take-off, $165 from eBay. It's very comfortable.
I need a plug for the console hole.

Go check out leather pros. They are excellent bags, remove in seconds if you don't want them all the time and can hold as little or as much as you want. They're not cheap, butter worth every penny in my opinion.

Fitting a used Low Rider seat was a nice, inexpensive mod. I also found that stocker seat pretty comfortable, but not so for passengers.

Here ya go to fill that dash panel hole. Thought the logo was appropriate.

Added 5.5" pullback risers, Drag Specialty #0602-0415. Using the stock handlebar I'd say this is as far as the stock wires will stretch. Still had to change the upper clutch cable for a +2" Harley 37200218, found it on eBay, will be here tomorrow. For me with a 33" reach it's going to help reaching the bars and still not too tall for the stock fairing.
I do have a plan for the hole in the console, ordered a can of wrinkle black paint to get that mod started.

Thats strange. I used the stock clutch cable with my 10” t-bars. I did have to pull it from the center hole in the tree and run it straight up the left frame rail, but I don’t get why you’d need a longer cable with only 5.5” risers. Unless they changed it, but I can’t see why. Weird.
