Default two seater with backrest...which one?

What recommendation would you have for a double seat and backrest for my 883?

My passengers ( wife & daughters) and I love the Sundowner seat. Plenty of back support and just very comfortable.................Mike

Got the sundowner and tall backrest - no complaints from anyone so far.

Sundowner, and a 20" plus sissy bar.

One more vote for the sundowner.

I personally am not a fan of the bulky looking thing, but if is much more comfortable than the stock. It is much, much, much more comfortable than the stock for the passenger. I also have the quick detach side plates (#53913-04) and a sissy bar (#52735-85).

The detachable side plate will rub on the sundowner. I don't tend to keep it installed when I'm not riding 2-up, but I can see how it may end up damaging the seat in time.

Sundowner with the smooth bucket passenger backrest. Doesn't look as good as some of the narrow backrests, but it is more comfortable a gives the passenger more security. It goes well with the Sundowner seat.

Hi

I bought a Sundowner for my Nightster and didn't like the look, although it was definitely comfortable the one time I rode it. It's sitting in a box in my garage. I was going to put it on ebay but would definitely be willing to make somebody who wants it a deal.

If you doing it to comfort her it would be hard to beat my set up I think. Dawn absolutely loves it.
