• There were many reasons for the change of the site software, the biggest was security. The age of the old software also meant no server updates for certain programs. There are many benefits to the new software, one of the biggest is the mobile functionality. Ill fix up some stuff in the coming days, we'll also try to get some of the old addons back or the data imported back into the site like the garage. To create a thread or to reply with a post is basically the same as it was in the prior software. The default style of the site is light colored, but i temporarily added a darker colored style, to change you can find a link at the bottom of the site.

Russell "Day Long" saddle

After sitting on daddydarko's Corbin seat, I felt it wouldn't work out for me. At that time, I didn't realize that you can have the Corbin customized for you and the stock Corbin sits me too far forward. So my wife found out about Russell seats and we really liked everything about them. They are definately customized for you. They don't do a "generic" Spyder seat. So I feel I got the best seat for the money. Now if the weather would cooperate so I can ride on the thing.

Just send'em to Fl... I'll break them in..... :clap::2thumbs:
 
Did you ever get any pictures up of your Russell seat?

I don't know how to post pictures, or I would. I got the small diamond pattern, and I really like the looks. To me the double compliments the over all looks of the seat, really looks good. Front and back look the same.

Putt-Putt email me your pictures like you did once before and I will get them posted for you. [email protected] I would like to see how your Russell turned out.
 
Just to show you how Russell customizes

Here is my seat with the same pattern as Putt-Putts but I have colored stitching and notice my front seat is shorter and my passenger seat is longer. I wanted to sit up closer due to my height and wanting to reach my highway boards easily. Also, my seat is vinyl on the sides and leather on the top.

Here is Putt Putt's seat. I am not sure what material he ordered for his seat.

Looks nice Putt-Putt. :2thumbs: If I rode with a passenger even semi-regularly, I would have gotten the passenger seat upgrade too but I've only had a passenger about 3 times ever.
 
Do you send the original stock seat to russell to get a new seat cover? Does new double seat work with BRP passenger back rest? How long does it take to get after ordering?

Yes, you send a stock seat to Russell for them to replace the foam and put a new cover on it. It should work with the BRP passenger backrest as they use the stock Spyder seatpan to build their seat so it fits the same as a stock seat. You have to call them to see what their build schedule is like. It took about two weeks from the time I sent the seat in until I got it back (UPS ground shipping both ways).

That's about the only advantage to winters in Michigan! Can't ride anyway. Lots of folks bought a spare seat from someone who installed a Corbin, to get a core.

We didn't have any withdrawal, we bought a stock seat and sent it in, when it came back we put the new Russell on my Spyder, then we sent my stock seat in and had it done for Brian's spyder. When that came back we put it on Brian's and now we have an extra stock seat again. If anyone needs it, we are willing to sell it for the $80 we purchased it for plus the cost of shipping.
