As mentioned, teh manual.

After you ride it more, you'll figure out what you need to swap out. For me, it was handlebar, then seat, then exhaust/tuner. Now I'm doing a gear ratio change.

the seat on my bike (pics way above) is the wide mustang... have had several seats on this bike and this is the only one that has no butt-time restrictions. the hardest thing to fix with a seat is the +2. my wife always complained with other seats- this one has about an hour + of +2 butt time, so she is happy as long as its not a long trip. the rear shocks are another necessary change if you are doing any longer +2 rides. and i like the removable windshield (just pull and its off) and removable bags (the come off with the turn of a key).

And yes, HD catalog is over priced which is why I said to go on e-Bay.
I never said that. The only thing i said was that the sundowner seat puts you about an inch closer to your controls.

Small tip on pricing. If you find something on eBay being sold by a dealership as a fixed price, print it out and take it to your local dealer and ask them to match the price, they probably will. If not, tell them you will just buy it online and walk out. I got $50 bucks knocked off of a $250 jacket that way.

pick up a C&C seat... best looking seat plus the comfort is amazing... I have a sundowner for when I ride 2 up and I find it push's me to close to the tank... im 6'

I wish I picked up a C&C 2 up seat now.

You never said what? If you look at my post you will see that I was quoting thegrants82. He is the one that said that the Sundowner looks terrible on Sportsters.
