I am looking for a new seat for my 2012.  The stock seat gives me hot spots and is frankly a little low for me.  Harley seats (sundowner) will fit if I remove the rubber strips from the rear fender that are covered by the passenger pillion.  I really like these and may want to put them back on at some point.  I looked for them on the HD website to see how they were installed, but no luck.  Has anyone removed them?

I am told by Corbin that their Young Guns seat will fit over them.  I did not inquire about their dual tour seat, which I find to be very expensive.  Plus, if the seat doesn't fit, they charge a 20% restocking fee.

I have the Corbin Dual Tour and I didn't have to remove the rubber strips. The seat looks great and is super comfortable.

I put a Sundowner on my 2010 and didn't have to remove anything.  I even left the two bolts that hold the passenger pillion on.

The seat runs $549.  I can probably get a discount of 10%.  That would put that seat at $528 with tax.  Do you think the seat is worth that kind of money?  I know that is a subjective statement, just seeking your opinion.  The Sundowner is considerably cheaper at $299 and far easier to test/return if I don't like it.

Did your 2010 have the three chrome and rubber strips on the top of the rear fender?

I did put the Sundowner seat on my bike before I purchased the Corbin seat and although it is more comfortable than the stock seat it isn't anywhere as comfy as the Corbin. My wife rides behind me and she says that the Corbin is so much more superior for the passenger than the Sundowner.

I don't know if that helps.

Yes it does.

I also tried the Sundowner on my '11 no problem installing it with the three chrome / rubber strips. Sent it back because it didn't help my wife's back. I also noticed that it was no where near as comfortable for the rider compared to the last Sundowner I had.

 Iv installed the ultama W/rider backrest and  passenger pillion that is a big improvement over stock had to build up attachment brackits to fit over the three strip by changing length of bolts adding washers Have a corbin dual with back rests for sale make offer.
