I just got and installed the Sundowner bucket seat on my 883C.
Is it just me, or does that seat actually make you sit up higher than the stock seat? Is this going to cause any problems like changing the center of gravity or anything?
Had Sundowner seat on my Sportster when I bought it.....replaced with pillow seat. The Sundowner seat seemed too high for me (5'6") and I couldn't sit flat-footed.
I put a sundowner on a little over a year ago. It moved me forward just a touch but not higher. It took a couple of rides to get used to and I'll never go back to the stock seat now. The sundowner gives me more support than the stock did. The passenger will definately sit higher on it - that could be a good thing if they're short like my OL (4'10").
I feel mine lifts me up and forward as well.
Can still flat foot it ok but it does take a bit of getting used to.
The wife is happy so I suppose thats all that matters
I am thinking of getting another one as below, seesm to be low for the rider and padded for the pass.
