Default Sundowner deep bucket vs stock seat on 09 ultra

What are the differences between the Sundowner Deep Bucket #52093-08A and the stock seat on the 09 Ultra (not the new "LOW" which appeared in 2010, but the old one)?
The access. calalogue doesn't say anything specific.

Mine lowered me probably an inch or so and it is a little more comfortable.

I'm kinda curious myself.
Been thinking of a slightly lower seat too.

Thanks. Did it move you forward too?
What about the passenger seat? Any difference?

By the way, I have the same bike as yours. Black 09 Ultra FF Edition with ABS. I'm very pleased with it.

If anything it may have moved me a little closer and the wife thought it was a little better as well.
Yea when I saw the FF edition in black and with the deal I got I had to order one! If i could just quit spending money on it.

Thanks that's exactly what I wanted to hear.
As far as spending money, don't tell me. lol
I've spend quite a bit of money on it too but I have no regrets. The bike runs cooler now, it sounds great, it looks great and it is fully functional. The only thing left is to add a little more comfort for me and my passenger ........ and maybe a tad more power and torque (cams this winter).

Frenchie, I installed the Sundowner on the Road King yesterday. So far so good. It moved me back a hair and lowered me a bit. Just what I needed.
