Russell seats

[glory racing]

Although the russells get good reviews...obviously each butt is different. Is there anyone in or near Missouri that has a Russell that I could check out?

Thanx!

Good luck. You have to remember that the Russell ain't a Corbin, Sgt's or other off-the-shelf design with a customer-chosen cover. They are built from the ground up to the customer's measurements. While they may each look similar, setting on someone else's might give you the wrong impression unless you are the same height/weight/inseam as they are.

Well, I'm a hard day's ride from you but you more than welcome to come & sit on it.

I am near St. Clair MO about 100 miles to the southeast of Columbia. You are welcome to come check it out.

So how do you guys like the Russell seats? Worth the money? Worth the wait?

Thanx for the replies and offers. Do you suspect that the difference between the gen 1 and gen 2 bikes would matter simply for the seat sizing test?

I woudn't think that would matter its all about the way there built.

I have had a Mayer and a Sargent but this is foresure the best.

I think if you travel to check out a seat it would be best to check the one with the rider that is close to your same size.

I am 5'8 and 155,

I am 5' 8" as well, but it has been many years since I have seen 155 #'s!

It would actually be a nice ride to your location and there is a track day at Gateway this Sunday. Will you possibly be available this Sunday for a brief get together?

Thanx again,

Mark

[SIZE=36pt]+1 YES![/SIZE]

you can schedule it so they have you send it in a few days before they do the work. I did that on last years group buy. Got mine back in two weeks. Was worth every penny. They did the passenger at teh same time. Mine is the half moon leather for both.

Thanks, the seat is next on the up-grade list. Current plan is to send them the seat pan in about January. Just wanted to make sure the seat was worth it. You guys have confirmed it! Thanks!!!

yes

yes

i spent way more than the cost of a russell trying to avoid spending the money that a russell costs. those partial band-aids never did address the solution completely, so i eventually bit the bullet and got one for my wing. all i could do was kick myself for not doing it sooner. (same thing i did with my valentine 1 detector.)

when i got the fjr, the first thing i did was get a russell in all leather, took more than the minimum # of photos, described all the things that didn't feel right about the oem seat (at length) and got back a seat that is more comfortable than the wing's was (which is saying something considering the seat of the fjr is smaller).

and both of my russell were bought without the benefit of a self-buy discount:

Sorry I missed ya today. I recieved your message as I was about half way home. After track day, it was hard to keep the speed down...so I figured it would be better to just keep on rolling towards home.
