Passenger Seat for a Harley Road King?

What are your suggestions for riding a passenger on a 2007 Harley Road King? We are looking at Sundowner seats, does anyone know any better than that?





Also, considering that he has never driven a passenger on a bike, what are your tips for both driver and passenger? (I just know to sit real still).





Thanks ya'll!

Sundowners are nice seats.Mustang seats are very nice too.As for riding go with flow.Don't try to stay upright just lean with the rider and the bike.If you need to shift position warn him first.And make sure he's ready for you to get on or off the bike especially if your parked on something slippery like gravel.In turns if you want to look over his shoulder at where your going look over the shoulder on the inside.Right turn right shoulder..etc.If he's not used to hauling a passenger just take it easy til he gets used to how the bike handle's with an extra rider on it.And remember extra weight on the bike means longer stopping distance.Using the front brake is important it does most of the stopping ability

You have to do more than sit still. You need to be aware of what the person up front is doing. You need to lean when he/she leans in the direction they are leaning in. You don't need to be up tight and stiff, it makes the bike ride different and harder to control. Sorry don't have any suggestions for seats.
Reply:I've had 2 Roadkings, a 95 and a 99. I bought my seats from Saddlemen, They are called road sofas. I got mine with leather sides and red velour tops. They also make one called Explorer. You can have them made to you and your passengers measurements. They also have saddle gel in both seats. Best seat I ever sat in and my wife loved them also. Check their web site. P.S. all you have to do is sit on the back and look cute, he can do all the leaning.
