    Default Different Seat for comfort all day??

    Is anyone using a Russell Day-long touring seat. Don't really care what bike you have just how you like there seat and the quality of the seat. Would you recommend it to others? I have a 2013 RSS with ST bar riser on it a seat is next. Thanks for any info.

    I had a Russell seat on 1994 Harley Sportster; that seat I modified to fit on 2002 Suzuki Bandit 1200S, still riding on it today in great comfort!!
    My 2003 Kawi Concours Russell drivers portion of seat was modified, new leather cover on, & put in 2011 Spyder RT seat with backrest for 22,000 miles riding comfort!!
    That Russell modified seat with gel pad under is now on 2013 Spyder RT-S SE5 Lamonster special with 5,500 miles of comfort, (bought from Len at PitBull Powersports)!!!
    I highly recommend a Russell Day Long seat!!
    Enjoy your rides. Jim

    I had a Russell on my 08GS. My first mod on my 2012RT was a Russell. I've seen a lot of seats change hands on the buy/sell thread. Never seen a Russell for sale there. IMHO there is no better seat.

    I had a Russell on my 08, seriously thinking of one for my RT. Did some 800 plus mile days on the 08.

    My husband has one on his Harley VRod and he loves it. I was all set to get either a Day Long or a Bill Mayer Saddle when my Spyder burned.

    Had two on Harleys and was saving up to add it to my current Harley (Harley redesigned the seat mounts so was unable to transfer my last one) when I decided to sell the Harley and stick with the Spyder. Now I will be saving up for the Spyder.
    I have had other brands of saddles, but none better than the Russell.:
