My husband has used both the Sundowner and the Tallboy and I was happy sitting on passenger pillion of either. The wider the better for passenger. (I know they don't look as good but they are comfortable!)

He is 6'1" 240 lbs.

He now has an Electra Glide Standard and that stock seat was comfortable for me.

I've had a Corbin and wasn't impressed with the pillion but I never had to ride it on my personal bike so it didn't matter.

The back rest that is larger with a curve in it is great. The flat pads on chopped tour paks are not comfortable but the ones with arms on the King Tour Pak are.

Mean City could replace foam but if they can't make platform wider, I would not go that direction. I am 5'4", 140 lbs. I couldn't tolerate passenger pillion on RKC or ST Glide stock seats for more than 15 or 20 minutes at a time. Too thin and narrow.

I heard that both the Tallboy and Sundowner are great.
I am thinking of changing the stock seat on my 08 RKC and I am going for either.
I will try them next week and will let you know when I do.

Got rid of my stock seat on my 05 & bought a Sundowner. Much more comfy.

I have a Sundowner on my 2007 RKC. Both my wife and I love it. It is good for 600+ mile days for both of us!
