I love that RDL seat. I sent in a HD Tallboy seat to be reworked into the RDL. Now that was a weak and floppy seat pan. I had a drivers backrest added by them, and they really stiffened up the pan. Using the tallboy gave me an inch or two more legroom, but it took that space from the passenger seat. Just for reference I tried a stock seat, the stock seat modified by mean city cycles, the tallboy, the ultimate, and the mustang. Before I went with the RDL. ETA- since I've had my RDL seat, they have made two more sales to other guys at work based on my seat. 1 Road king and an Ultra Limited. I should get a commission.

I'm leaning towards having them build me one on the Hammock pan this winter. The Hammock is pretty nice and if I had never put miles in with the RDL I might manage to be happy with the Hammock. Having put 3500 miles in on the RDL this Spring, I know what real comfort in the saddle is and the Hammock ain't it! I've been the Mustang, Corbin and Ultimate route on other bikes in the past. This time I'll go straight to RDL, when or if I upgrade. I bought the Hammock from a friend for $250 when he went with a Mustang seat. For that price, I couldn't turn it down. Plus... it gave me an extra seat pan to send to RDL should I decide to go that route again. My only concern with the RDL was if the Harley seat pan would give adequate support for RDL's firm platform. You have eased that concern.

Chuck:
When you get a chance, could you post a couple pictures of your RDL on your bike. RDL's Harley site pictures are awful!

Well If you really want that RDL you could always set up another group buy :) I want one for my Victory this year. Wish I'd seen this post earlier was looking for a set of those highway pegs.

Somebody else is going to carry that flag this year. I'll gladly participate in that individual's effort.

Just went over and registered and will keep a eye on this as I wasn't able to get in on the one here last year.

Chuck, I didn't realize you bought yourself a NEW Harley.

It looks like the impatience of those at adventure riders may have cost all of us a chance for a group buy this year.
