Gary you may not want to replace the seat but just get a seat pad for long rides. I hear (I can't say from experience) that the roho airhawk is the most comfortable pad around http://www.therohogroup.com. I've seen new ones on ebay for a little over $100. They are the company that makes pads for wheelchairs. I put 800 miles on a stock Nightster seat last weekend. Mya** fell asleep in the first 90 miles and when I got off my bike the wife said my backside looked like someone had taken a meat tenderizer to it.

 

Question

The Sundowner looks wide, would it cover over the oil temp gauge?

That is the one Im leaning towards. I will need to order this monday to get it by the 20th.
I like the looks of the Mustang Original Studded, but it's about $70 more. I would pay the extra if it is as comfortable as every one said the Sundowner is...Thanks Gary.

 

I still have time to get one by next wednesday, we take off on friday the 20th. the Sundowner is $284 O.T.D. Mustang studded $340 o.t.d. or the
Vintage $310 o.t.d. and the Regal Duke $ 300 o.t.d.
I like the looks of the Mustang seats better, But Im not sure if they are soft like I want. No one has one around for me to look at.

Question, would the Sundowner cover over my oil temp gauge at all?

Thanks...Gary.

 

The Sundowner does not over the oil temp guage. I have both..no problems there.

 

Hi Gary, I have my like new Mustang Vintage seat (std. width) & pillion for sale cheap (only 5 months old) over on another forum click here:
http://xlforum.net/pp_classified/sho...t=4&page=1. The Mustang is firm for support but softer than stock seats as it is thicker.

Otherwise, I have the Sundowner and no it does not cover your oil temp. guage.

 

'SportyPig' and 'capttawes'

Thanks for the anser on the temp gauge.

How do the Mustang and the Sundowner compare for comfort for the driver...Thanks...

 

My experience with the Mustage was limited to a fairly short ride. It was plenty comfy for the butt, but didn't provide as much lower back support. That's a big issue for me.

 

Well, I've put a fewmonths of seat time on my Mustang and will say that it was very supportive and comfortable but in comparing it to the SD I would say the SD has more bucket design and taller back support and I don't think sits as high as the Mustang. The SD is not as good looking but is defintely worth the money (only $198 at Zanottis). I would have probably purchased another Mustang touring seatwith wider passenger section for the Mrs. but the cost difference was too great for the amount of time she rides with me.

 

i do not mind the stock seat. i have a single with back rest for long rides made by corbin

 

I was just on the Harley site and I cant find a Sundowner for a Sportster
like my 2000 C. All I can find is for 04 up to 07. They do make them for the 91-03's dont they???.
