Deuce Seat... Danny Vs Santee?
Well thinking about trying a differnt seat for the Deuce once again... Currently i ride with my Sundowner. Feel for me isnt quite there i do like the padding but seems like it sits me up higher and not down with the bike.
So i picked up a cheap badlander, love the feel, but only good for short rides, and the lady will not ride with it on, no padding on the rear...
So once again looking for a better seat, If i remember the Corbin Young Guns is what most guys were using at one time... but just a quick ebay search brought me across these two seats, wondering if anyone has tried them and there reviews..
I know Danny Gray Seats are a name in them selves
http://www.ebay.com/itm/DANNY-GRAY-0...sories&vxp=mtr
or this seat made by Santee..
http://www.ebay.com/itm/Harley-Seat-...sories&vxp=mtr
Both look more like the badlander which i like for fitment and looks...

The sundowner is the most comfortable seat I have used on my slim. It was visually unflattering to the sleek design of the slim.
I have a danny gray Weekday 2-up XL and I find it very comfortable and looks great but not as cushy as the sundowner and the passenger sits very high on the danny gray. I have a corbin custom solo/pillion combination on the way I sure hope will be comfortable for me and passenger. I don't know anything about the Santee. Do they still make seats?

I've done a ton of research on seats because for me, I was looking for a good blend of two-up riding comfort but trying to keep with the nice lines of the Deuce. A lot of seats look really bulky on the Deuce. I originally had the stock seat, which looks pretty good but doesn't have great comfort for long trips, especially for a passenger. I tried the Badlander seat, but found that to be too hard and again, no good for a passenger. I then found a brand new discontinued factory HD Rallyrunner for sale, so I bough that one and tried it out. It's a great seat. It is basically like a Badlander with a larger passenger area, about 2" wider than the stock seat, but also a little thinner and firmer. It was a good compromise and my wife thought it was a big improvement over the stock seat. It also is thinner where the driver's legs are, so you can sit a little more flat footed on the ground when you are stopped. From the research I have done, apparently Danny Gray designed and built the original Rallyrunner seats for Harley and since Harley discontinued them, he now sells them under his branding as the Danny Gray Weekday 2 Up XL seat. Also you asked about the Santee seat. The Santee Centaur XL 2-Up (not the one in the link you posted) is actually almost identical to the Danny Gray seat, and a lot cheaper. I know the HD Rallyrunner is top quality leather, and I assume the Danny Gray is the same. I'm not sure about the Santee, but if you find any of those 3 for a good price, it's probably worth snapping one up because since the Deuce is no longer produced, I doubt they will still be making those seats for long.
Hope this helps.
