Default Mustang or Sundowner

Wife is riding with me more and more and she's getting the sore butt thing. While I don't mind the stock seat, I too am looking for more comfort.

I like the looks of the Mustang Regal and will take a spin up to Laconia Bike Week to try one on in the next couple days. I haven't been able to find a Sundowner at any local dealer yet.

I'm looking for a seat that will let me flat-foot the bike better than that stock seat. Also I find there is so much room that I slide forward and back in the seat a lot.

For the passenger I think "basically" it needs to be thicker and wider, that stock thing sucks.

What do you think?

I have a Sundowner and love it. So does the wife. I got her a Mustang solo for her FXDC and it's a good seat, but my Sundowner is much more comfortable.

Try the Sundowner. You can get it with the Street Glide stiching too.

From Zanotti - HD you can get it shipped for $276.71. You will never get a Mustang that cheap.

I traded in my stock Ultra seat for the Mustang Regal. I did it primarily for the looks because my wife and I were comfortable on the stock one, however after the change my wife said she liked the Mustang better. Get the regal backrest also, it make a lot of difference when you are riding without the wife. When the wife is along, I leave the backrest off.

Had a Sundowner on our 2001 RK. Wife liked it better than stock but still wasn't comfortable for long rides for her.

We have had a Mustang(same seat) on the last 2 bikes - 2004 EGC & 2007 EGC - and couldn't be happier. It has over 50K miles on it. First thing she said after a short trip when we bought the 2007 was "You are putting the Mustang on this bike, right?"

I know comparing a RK Sundowner to a Electra Glide Classic Mustang seat might be apples to oranges but if I have to buy a new seat, I would buy another Mustang in a heartbeat.

But if I get a little extra cash saved up, I might send the stock seat for the 2007 EGC to Mean City Cycles to see what they can do with it.
