Default Sundowner on '06 King

Here's a shot of the Sundowner on my '06 King. Seat was on the bike when I bought it, so I don't know how much different the stocker looked. Seems to cover everything just fine.

I had a street glide seat on my cop RK and it came up onto the console farther than my current sundowner. But I like the comfort so I can live with it.

THEY MAKE A FILLER PIECE for this problem I have a chrome one and harley makes a leather one. Just ask the dealer or LOOK in the j&p catalog.

Looks like a good fit. I don't know what's "I" in FLHRI? I'll take a picture tonight and try to post. This is all good info.

The leather filler piece I saw wouldn't fit the RK. Maybe the dealer showed me the wrong part.

"I" means fuel injected

With the exception of a slightly lower saddle position, I really like the seat but don't care for the asthetics. Has anyone else had this problem?
Can you take a picture of the gap and post? I had the Sundowner (p/n 51615-99B) on my '05 RKC. The nose of the seat and the bottom of the console came together perfectly. Now I am trying a Cyclepedic seat that I bought from a guy, and I believe it is for a Electra Glide. The nose goes too far past the bottom of the console and doesn't latch with the front clip. The EC consoles are shorter, but do not have a place for the speedo like the RK's. I wonder if your console is shorter? If so, it sounds like your console is too short and my console is too long. If that's the case, maybe a trade in consoles if you're interested. I'll get a picture on here tonight if you're interested in seeing what my situation is now with this new seat.

Has anyone with a standard RK found anything different when installing a Sundower?

I have a Sundowner solo on my 2004 Standard and there is a slight gap between the end of the console and the seat, but not enough to bother me. I also have a 2-up seat off of a RK Custom that covers the gap, but the Sundowner is overall a great looking and very comfortable seat. It was modified by Mean City Cycles and is even more comfy.

The gap is just that, a gap and there are enough wires running around the bike that a couple more being visible are no big deal.
