Just got a Rick Mayer seat done. I only have 225 miles on it, but seams very nice. Its about one inch higher while seated, whiich is very nice for my bad knee. He is a great guy also. Gave me and my buddy a tour of his property. Very nice spread. I got mine in basket weave black vinyl. Had no monkey butt or sore spots on the way home to Ripon, CA. I lucked out because I just wanted to look at his shop while I happened to be in the Anderson area visiting an old friend. He said he would fit me in and two hours later I had my seat. Could not be happier!!! $220 cheaper than the Russell seat. Will keep you posted after I rack up some more miles.
