Clem,

What code did you use, S-1?
S3 code, did both seat covers, I figured, I did not cut corners on this bike for much of anything, and I am feeling it, but not in the seat pan.

Moto, than this is your seat. Heading for the loneliest road in America today. Have to see Ruth, NV for the Steven King book written about in Desperation

under 600.00 for mine, solo, s3 code vinyl, 2 tone
Thanks Clem. I'm going to do the S1 solo in vinyl. Great looking seat and from personal experience the best for long days in the saddle. Enjoy it.

From shasta lake to Ely, NV today. 550 miles and NO hot spots ;D
I am pleased. At 7000 ft elevation and my butt it goes 115 mph. Or so I heard.

S-3, vinyl with leather insert $535 + ride in fee.

Nobody would put on a white seat? Now that is just wrong. Not as wrong as repainting yellow, but darn close. Russell don't make seats in black? I would think if they had any integrity, they would have refused making a seat in white. Their name is tarnished forever by allowing that.
I had to go silver, since the bike has silver on it already. My ideal choice would have been white with red stitching on a white bike, but, this will have to work

no mine is black and gray, rectangle design... I hope...
Color aside, do they make a rectangular design more in line with the style of the stock seat? Just wondering...I'm anxiously waiting to see what Corbin tosses out too.

Clem,

Have you received your seat yet, if so, how do you like it? Inquiring minds want to know!!! My seat production date was 9/15 and I'm anxiously waiting for it.

Thanks,

Steve

No I have NOT got it yet, the frame is really starting to suck. They are nearly done, it is in upholstery now, may ship today perhaps. They are sick of me by now. The same builder has built all my seats, and I am certain it will be outstanding. Build date was Sept 7th, Pics to follow...

While I agree it looks "super comfortable", as with all Russell Day Long's, they look like tractor seats and are fugly, IMHO!
::015::

I know, if I could ever get past the looks of them, I would probably really like how they ride. But, I don't think I ever will....

Sounds like a tractor, and now it's going to look like one. ;) I can't say enough about the comfort. Sargents and Corbins got me 4 hours but the Russell goes the long haul.
