Well, I'm a cheapskate and poor; that being said and with approval from management, thanks to this post I think I'll order up one of those Ultimate seat sets also. 750 plus shipping for front, rear, and front back rest (yeah). I'm light and the factory seat really tears up my rump and back. Thanks again for the great input on this sight. Update: Sunday AM: bought the Ultimate last night. Thanks folks.

RDL seat follow up
Quote:
Dealing with the folks at Russell was a real eye opener. I was talking to Jay Liebespeck, former seat builder, turned Director of Operations, it was like talking to a tailor. He looked at me standing next to my 02 Nomad, looked at the seat and said, the guy you bought this from was heavier than you. That surprised me, that he could tell that just by looking at the seat. Don, the member I bought the seat from, is 2" shorter and 50lbs heavier than me. I ask about moving the backrest back, It tends to want to push me forward more than I want. Jay told me that could be easily done. Just send them the passengers seat and backrest combination and they could adjust it for me. After the riding season is over and their schedule slows down, I'll send it in. Reflecting on the whole Russell seat experience, I have zero regrets. For my purposes, this was an excellent way to make the move to a Russell seat. If and when I replace my Nomad, I will definatly put another Russell Day Long on it.
