I know what you mean about sitting up higher. As is I can barely sit flat footed when stopped. I usuallly only put my left foot down.
I would really like to go and sit on a bike with the sundowner on it. Also just to see how it looks.

I almost had a Sundowner yesterday for $135. I was at the dealer getting some new pegs and they had one under the clearance tent. The part number on the box said it would fit the '06 883C, but when the parts guy and I looked at it, the mounting was completely different from the 883C and there was bno way it would ever go on that bike, so no new seat for me. Now they have to figure out what it does go on and why it was in the wrong box.

It was probably for an 883 or 883L. The seats are different for the 3.3 gallon gas tanks.

All this seat had was the tab at the rear that bolts to the fender and a metal bar at the front that looked like a tongue mounted on the frame or tank would go into, not the tongue that goes under the tank on the "C", and it had no keyhole for the bolt under the seat.

Sounds like an 03 or older mounting system.
