I bought the sundowner deep bucket and a saddleman road sofa. My wife and I both liked the sundowner better and it was cheaper than the saddleman.

I am with Dennis, I have the Sundowner Deep Bucket and although the looks aren't the greatest, the comfort makes up for that 10 times over. I can ride as long as I want without ever getting to the point where I "need" a break. I have tried many seats over the years on my other bikes including Corbin (too hard for me), Mustang (too hard for me even more than Corbin). Always found the sundowner's perfect..

I have a Mustang #75465 that is new if interested. I am 6'4" and it moved me to far forward. Ended up going with a Sundowner and am going to send it off to Allen @ Mean City Cycles.

IMO, both seats are a vast improvement over stock with a slight edge to the Mustang.

I was a big fan of the Sundowner on my '02 Lowrider and bought one for my '08 RG but it felt too soft for me & my butt was gettin' tired after 4-5 hours. I upgraded to a Mustang Touring seat & can go all day. Unfortunately, seats & handlebars are the hardest parts to buy...it's pretty much trial & error until you find what's most comfortable for you. Good luck.

Sundowner for 2 up is pretty comfortable...

Mustang solo + matching 13.5" passenger pillion.

Best of both worlds.
