Girlfriend is not happy with stock seat and i got a little uncomfortable during a long ride. What is a good upgrade to the stock seat without getting a huge padded *** gasket that is ugly?

 

The cheapest option is a 08 or 09 RG seat, it's wider for the passenger & shaped a little different in front, seems like somebody said there was a difference in the padding from 08 to 09 & that the 08 was the best. Other than that a lot seem to kike the Sundowner, after that you're left with aftermarket, price goes up at each stage. I've seen used RG seats on ebay every once in a while or you can check the ads here also.

 

I installed a Sundowner deep bucket on my 09 RG and love it. It is a lot more comfortable on long rides. Got it from Zanotti for @232. Had one on my old RK too. Next change will be to Heritage handle bars.

 

You wouldn't happen to know which Sundowner it was you got would you?

 

Sundowner or send it to Mean City Cycles with your requirements. Get over the Ugly part you bought a Road glide.The last thing their gonna give you chit about is your seat . Comfort is the way to go, screw everyone else and their " damn don't I look cool set ups".

I see a few different sundowners in the parts catalog. Its that much better than the 2010 RGC seat for passenger and driver?

 

You got to try the seat out . It's all about what fits you and your passenger. Mine's an 04 so I'm sure they have changed since then. Tell em you want to set on one before you buy. I set on a 2010 FLTX and man that seat was hard. Don't rule out the custom shops if that's for you. I've always seen good things come from Mean City.

Just finished a long painful windshield tour and looks like the seat thing isn't going to be any easier. Think my last purchase was close to your shield,CeeBaileys light tint 16'' euro?
