Default Getting Sundowner

Bought a sundowner on EBAY last week. Hope to get it this week. Can't wait to put it on and go for a long ride. So tired of my stock seat.

That's what I have read on here. Some do not like the look of them, but I will make up my own mind when it is on.

I added the detachable sissy bar and luggage rack. I do believe that it improves the look. Without it the back of the Sundowner sets a little high and is more noticeable, but the comfort is very much improved.

I already have a short sissy bar. Hoping it won't looked dwarfed by the back of the seat. Other thing is I am only 5'9" and can barely put both feet down now (when I am wearing boots).
I have read on here that it sits you up higher.

As you can see, I have the Low. I am 5'9 also and I cannot say that it set me any higher. I does seem a little wider, but I have gotten used to it. Hopefully, you will not have any problems.

Sorry that I have no side view at this time. This may give you an idea.

Looks good to me. I remember your post when you built the bike storage you have there. Good idea.
