I agree with ******... I did the seat, big difference, then I did the shocks, huge difference.

Shocks first.Sportsters are old school sport bikes IMO and the stock suspension sucks so it's the first to go. Soak your @$$ in a jacuzzi after long rides as needed...

I would also say Seat. But I think that depends on if your are riding solo, or 2up. I mostly ride solo, and the seat was a huge difference.I've yet to make any changes to the suspension, except for heavier fork oil. However, if I did a lot of 2 up riding, the suspension would be a very high priority for me.

Seat. Mine's a Sundowner too. Can't recommend it enough. A bit 'chunky' at the back unless you have a sissy bar and back-pad installed though.
