2018 Heritage and tailbone pain? Sundowner the solution?

Thanks all
I’ve read too many conflicting reviews on the Sundowner to waste £250+ on one at this point. I can’t find a dealer yet with one in stock to try either.
I think I may try modding the seat - I did my Slim’s seat (though not the same issue or shape) with good results
i’m going to look at rear shock settings too

Loving my new Heritage Classic... not loving the tailbone pain I get after 20 mins.
I’m in the UK, otherwise I’d send my stock seat off to Mean City Cycles I guess to have the tailbone section sculpted out... though I’d ideally really like to keep the seat ‘stock’
I’ve read that the Sundowner solo seat can be better for tailbones... anyone got experience or alternative options?

I just picked up my Sundowner too - so far a really noticable improvement (and I prefer the look of the seat without the studs), but I'll need to let my current tailbone aches to subside a few days to then be able to test thoroughly.
If it's not perfect, I'm gonna do a little seat surgery of my own - simple enough - remove cover, sculpt out a little of the padding in the tailbone area, re-staple cover.

I think I'm going to call Ultimate tomorrow and order one. I had one on my 16 Fat Boy and loved it, though my tailbone would ache after 2 hours seat time, but 5 minutes at a gas station would ease it then I could do another 90 minutes.
I think the stock 18 Heritage seat has exacerbated my chronic tailbone and increased it. The Saddlemen seat is better but not perfect. If I order an Ultimate then I will sell the Saddlemen in the next few weeks, as soon as the Ultimate arrives (their website says 4 weeks till delivery).

Anyway, you could always ride over to Daytona, where Ultimate Seats are located. They're at Destination Daytona. Plus, the owner is one of your countrymen, a Brit. Really good guy. Sent me some screws for free when I needed them.

Hey Lauren, how's it going? I bought a windshield from you.

How's my old windshield?
