Default Sundowner seat on my 09 UC

Waited 11k miles before I could not take it anymore, the final staraw was a 840 mile day trip from the Dragon to South Fla. The stock seat hurt my upper thy after about 300 miles, wasnt killing me just hurting enough to bug me. Only have a couple hundred on teh new seat but it did move me down and back a little, will do a 500 miler soon and report back.

How does yours fit??? Just put a Sundowner on my EGC and it fits real sloppy. Lots of movement.

My Sundowner is more sloppy than the stock seat was, kinda feels like it could come loose in the front.

The stock seat on my '08 RK had me sitting too far forward. I went with the Sundowner and am very happy with it. Like you said, sat me down and back more. I will say the stock seat has more cusion in it.

Just got done with 1100 miles in 3 days on my Sundowner. It's a great seat and worth every penny. Mine fits good.

Well I cut a strip out of a sheet of packing foam, doubled it over and zip tied it to the seat tab on the frame. Got rid of the slop in the nose. But if you grab the sides of the seat and pull up there is alot of play. Is this normal for the Sundowner????
