RDL Seats

I want to reward my butt with RDL seats for my'74 R90/6, '82 R100,' 87 K100, '94 R1100RS and maybe a few more for good measure.:clap

I think my RDL is not only bottom comfort it supports the whole lower body with less pressure on the nerves and circulatory system providing less knee pain. A few small adjustments are needed if you buy one but easy to learn . Maybe see if someone in your area has one to sit on and see if you like. Once you get started with the process it is hard to turn back. You will have to send a seat pan for them to build the saddle and it will be gone for 10 days or so.

Good luck
 
All depends what bike you're putting it on I think. For my KTM's I have Renazco seats. Game changers for sure.

Have you ever read a post where the owner of a Russell Day Long even hinted about the seat being uncomfortable or, even worst, seeking another 'better' seat? The answer is a resounding NO!

I had a custom Russel Day long made for me this spring
All Black Leather with small diamonds sewn in, looks great on my black bike.
At 775 not cheap but the best never is.
Best $ I've ever spent on Moto gear.
It took a little while to " Break In" but when it did WOW

My RDL score: 1) 2008 RT - RDL; 2) 2015 RT - RDL. About 90K miles so far: No complaints.

Once I installed the RDL seats, pain in the a** became history.

This, from someone who is 69 years old and has L5 degenerative disc disease, (not to mention an almost non-existent ass. You will be far more comfortable with the RDL.

Best,
