Default Which seat is this on my bike?

I picked up this 06 FXDB fall of last year...and I've had a hard time finding exactly which seat(s) are on the bike.

The pillon can lift up a bit in the front part, it seems separate from the main seat.

Hopefully these pics are enough for experienced eyes to ID it

Looks like a stock Dyna 2 piece seat. Remove the seat and you will see that that passenger seat is bolted to the rider's seat. That tab often cracks and allows the rear to be pulled up quite a bit. I bought one off eBay for my SBob and I had to reinforce the tab. Looks like lower Superglide bars were installed too.

Yeah the guy I bought it from said he put on Super Glide bars.....he also gave me the original Street Bob Apes that the bike came with when he bought it..but I find the current SG bars very comfy.

The recent thread someone made in this forum about which 2-up seat to put on his bike just got me to wondering which seat I actually had...I did some digging around but none that I found had a pillon that looked at tall/thick as mine, and my seat is rather "stitch/seam free"...versus the Sundowners I found pics of online.

Hoping to do a few personal touches to the bike this winter...remove the fork reflectors, would like to get some black power on the lower forks and the bars, and get a set of black forward controls. And some smoked LED sigs 'n brake light.

Agreed...looks like the stock solo seat with passenger pillon. The main reason why I say that is the way that the pillon fits over the solo and all stock Harley seats have passenger straps.

The rear is some version of a Harley pillon. In 08 the stock seats were were ribbed. I just checked some websites and the front seat is the stock seat. It is not a Sundowner. They are big and ugly, but very comfortable.
