Default H-D acc. seats?

I want to change from the stock seat on my '03 883 to either the H-D 'pillow-look touring seat' or the 'sundowner bucket seat' both from the accessory catalogue. Does anyone have any experience with either of these, and comments or recommendations?

Thanks all

Tom

The sundower seat is very comfortable for most people and reasonably priced. I don't know about the pillow, but I don't like the looks of it.

I have a Sundowner and medium height sissy bars/pad on my 2006 883L. Love the look and the comfort. Please note that if you get a Sundiwner with sissy bar/pad - you cannot fit a short height sissy bar on your bike as well. The passenger seat is too high for the connecting bolts .....

Oh well, I guess I'm going to be the minority here but I upgraded to the pillow look touring seat. I love it. I ride a good bit and it has made my 05 883 a different bike. 209$ at the dealer, well worth the price. I rode a friends with the sundowner and decided to get the touring seat for mine. Neither seat eliminates all fanny fatigue but I'm good for 125 before I want to get off and then about five minutes and I'm ready to go. It did eliminate some of the "pain" of the factory seat. Just my 2 cents
