Has anyone ever seen the people from RDL seat company at motorcycle expos, like WingDing, Americade or any others? I would like to see and sit on one of their seats. If someone in central Indiana has one that I could try give me a shout.
Not that I go that often, but I have never seen RDL at any events.
IMO, RDLs are built to physical specifications of the rider that will be sitting on it. Thus, an RDL built for one person might not feel comfortable to another.
That being said, I know many that have them, and have had three myself. Never have heard an RDL owner ever complain as to the comfort of the seat.
But, then again, I have not met every RDL buyer and most consider me a "Russell Day Long sycophant". For me, there is no other choice.
I rode to Redding CA to have mine made. Extra $80.00 bucks but one day service. You have to setup an appointment for one day service.
They do not have pre-made seats setting around. Each one is custom made. They did have a stock loaner seat so I was able to run around the area while they made my seat.
I have to agree with ptgb. Not many, if any hate their RDL Saddles. I've had 2 of them. Loved them! I can't justify spending the money on them anymore. Custom seats have just gotten to expensive.
What is your inseam measurement? I did a post 2 weeks ago to see what short riders had to say about getting their feet down and received varied responses.
I had one on my 2000 GL1500 and it was very good. I was having some lower back pain and we just happened to be in California. So I called them and went by their place of business. They added some padding to give me some extra support for my lower back and I was very comfortable for the rest of our trip. We were on the SCMA four corners ride. I would like to have another one but I just don't ride those long days anymore.
I too have never heard of them going to shows....they don't really need to IMO. Love my Russell. I'm a big guy but you're welcome to sit on mine sometime and/or take it for a spin. Looks like we're close to each other.
I don't have a Russel on the wing but recently put one on my GSA and after a 10 hour day in the saddle it hit me; I never once stood up to relief any discomfort like I have always done on other seats. I'm sold on RDL seats!
Is there anybody with a RDL or Ultimate or any other aftermarket seat that's close to me (central Virginia)? I would like to see one, maybe sit on the seat, get a feel for it.
I'm 6'3" and would like to do a bit more research before spending money on an aftermarket seat.
Thank you!...
