I upgraded to a Sundowner 2-up seat on my previous bike and it was extremely comfortable on longer rides compared to the stock seat.

I want to upgrade the seat on my 15 SGS similarly but I hate the look of the Sundowner.

Are there any seats that are comfortable but a little better looking than the Sundowner? Or do you always trade comfort for looks?

 

I am leaning towards the Basket weave sundowner when my wife can start riding again. They look pretty good on the Glides IMO. I'd rather be comfortable on those road trips instead of having to deal with a sore back and butt next morning. I have the stock Badlander presently and no way do I want to do a 500- 1000 mile trip with that seat even though it looks good on the bike.

 

Have you thought about a 2 piece seat? Looks are the reason I got rid of the sundowner I had. Very comfy seat just looked like a couch. I still got a couch look when she has me the rear seat on but it looks good solo when I ride solo. I think the passenger comfort is what sacrifices the most for "good looking" 2 up 1 piece (or 2 piece) seats.

 

Forgot to mention. Don't forget to look for some thing that will allow for a drivers backrest if you want some day.

 

I bought a Mustang Super Touring, which comes with a backrest, a few days ago, and I'm happy with it. It is definitely more comfortable than the stock seat that came with my '15 Road King and at least as comfy as a Harley Tallboy seat (which I demo-ed) and better looking.

 

I love my Corbin.

Looks better than the Sundowner, more comfortable, especially after 100 miles, accepts a backrest, leather seating surface...'
