anyone have pics of their 06 with the sundowner deep seat on it. Im looking for seats and it by far looks the most comfortable. Thanks guys....Rick

 

Not on an 06' but the general visual should be the same!

Wife and I love this seat.

 

Rick,
I too was looking for a better "two up" seat for my 06 wide glide. Something with a little more padding for the wife. Although I've ridden bikes with sundowners, and like the way they feel ( a bit more lower back support for the rider, on longer runs), I just didn't like the bulky look on a wide glide. The sundowner is 16" wide(rider), 12" (passenger). I went with the new "touring seat" for the wide glide, which is only 15" wide and gives a slightly better look overall. It is also plenty comfy for the passenger and still gives me more lower back support than the stock seat. I'm also of course able to change back to the stock seat in about 10 minutes. Hope this helps. I'll post a pic of the bike with this seat tomorrow, it's still in the camera.

 

mtb017 or misterrick,

Does either of those seats damage the paint or finish on your fenders? I am looking for a good and comfy 2 up seat that will please the wife but will not damage my rear fender since I will be using my solo seat 95% of the time.

Here is a pic of my 06 wide glide with the harley touring seat. It doesn't cover the shocks as much as the sundowner.

Rick,
The wide glide comes with a two up seat, standard, but there are pads under the seat where it meets the fender so it won't scratch. Just to be sure, in your case though, some additional soft foam pads from a homecenter couldnt hurt if your worried.

 

mtb017,

I like the look of your seat. It does look like it would give good back support for driver and have plenty of padding to please the passenger as well.

Here is my 06 Bob with the Sundowner seat.

It is easily removable in about 30 seconds (I have the HD removable screw for ease of use). I regularly swap it for the solo seat when I am riding by myself. As far as the grab handle is concerned, I wrap it up, secure with a rubber band and hide it under the solo seat - it tucks away nicely.

The HD seat bumper kit leaves two little black rubber pads visible on the rear fender (they are stuck there), but you could attach those to the sundowner seat itself, if you wanted it totally clean. I use a detachable rack when I have the solo on, you don't really see them, so I have not worried about it.

BTW, the sissy bar and rack in this photo is also detachable - make sure you get a set of locks for your detachable components.

I am also looking at the sundowner. I'm wondering how much it raised your seat height, so to speak. It looks quite a bit taller and wider than my sidekick. So....did any of you guys notice a considerable inseam change? Are you tip-toeing now?
