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.

Lamont,
Could you post about this Russell Day Long group order discount on your other motorcycle forums. There may be some folks that would like to take advantage of the discount for a group order and they don't have any idea that this is available. Also, it may help our group order grow if we can get the work out.

What did you guys do steal Nancys Toy's avitar? Or are you just starting a new 3-wheeler club?
He told us he had a Russell "Day Long" installed on his trike so we rode down to his place to test it out.

Okay everyone, we need 17 more seat orders at Russell for the full 20% off of our custom seats. We need the orders by Nov. 10th now I'm told. These orders can come from anywhere for any kind of bike seat. You are guaranteed 10% off and when they reach 50 orders they will give the other 10% off so you get a discount no matter what. So post on all your motorcycle, spyder and scooter forums please. I just sent my seat in today and my production date is Oct. 29th. That means I will have my seat back some time in early Nov. bjt's production date is Nov. 5th I think or something close to that. Putt Putt will be sending his seat in very soon as well. I am very excited about this seat and I can't wait to show everyone and give it a good work out and then a good write up with an honest review. Weather permitting will determine if I am able to go on any long rides before spring though. It will also be interesting to see the different designs that each of us chose for our seat styles. So come on folks, if you are on the fence, go ahead and get your order in now. The web site is http://www.day-long.com/ Go check them out.

A little more info on the Russell Day Long
For those that may be curious. The Russell is made for you. The costs vary on the material and such that you pick. An Example though for anyone that is curious. My seat will have large diamond pattern and be made with leather inserts. The costs before discount is $580.00. The 10% they offer up front will bring it down to $522.00 if we get enough seats for the group order the additional 10% brings it down to $464.00 That isn't too shabby for a seat that is made just for me. Now of course I have to add shipping in there, so that is $50.00 for them to send it back to me and my cost to send it out was $63.00 (I didn't have a good box and used a makeshift one). So now my actual seat cost is $577.00 to me. I am still happy with that price considering this seat is made just for me. Also, read this guarantee from Russell. It is outstanding. They will try to alter the seat for you up to two times or they have a money back guarantee, not bad if I do say so myself. If you are up for the reading, here is a copy of the guarantee for you to peruse.
Warranty & General Information
Guarantee;
Any Custom fitted "Day-Long" Saddle found not to provide satisfactory comfort after the break-in period may be returned for a full refund of the purchase price provided Russell Cycle Products is notified within a 8 month period and allowed at least two chance's to adjust the seat for any condition Russell Cycle Products deems correctable within the 8 month period.
Materials and Workmanship are guaranteed for 18 months from purchase. Any failure, except upon our finding of damage due to accident, neglect or abuse, will be repaired or replaced free of charge upon return to Russell Cycle Products. If you remove your cover or tamper with your Saddle, your warranty will be voided.
What Constitutes a comfort adjustment verses a modification;
A comfort adjustment is any change Russell Cycle Products implements to prevent a slide forward situation, relieve uncomfortable pressure. widen or modify pocket, create better ground reach. Or a slight adjustment in forward or aft position. (no more than 1" in either direction)
A modification is any major change that you may request that constitutes a cover change or replacement.Or any modification that was not originally requested on your order form, or any requests that do not fall within our normal building parameters. These changes are not considered a warranty item and will be charged for accordingly.
Your sitting position;
Your seating position pictures that are required with your order are a very important aspect of your seat build. It is critical that you are in the exact position where you want the pocket placed. Pay attention to where you are sitting while riding. Many people move to a different position for still pictures verses a moving position. These pictures are what the builders use for your saddle placement and to place you in the best ergonomic position. If you request a major move from your original position it will be considered a modification and you will be charged.
Any Adjustments or modifications must be scheduled as stated on your warranty papers. The break-in period is critical. There are spring tensioners that will loosen slightly.along with foam resiliency. If you ship your seat for a adjustment without prior notification you will not have a priority position and we can not guarantee a return time. We generally will want to get some pictures of you on your Day-Long Saddle for any adjustments. It will be necessary for you to call and talk to your builder before shipping. Your builder will notify you of the pictures he will require.
Russell Cycle Products policy on adjustments is as follows; It is the customers responsibility to ship the seat to our factory after you have been scheduled. Russell Cycle Products will preform the adjustment and pay for return shipping.
The Day-Long Suspension Saddle is designed in a way to provide total support. A slight adjustment in the way you stop is required.On some models you will need to shift forward out of the pocket to get get feet down. This is a slight adjustment that once implemented will become second nature and before long will be automatic for you. If you are having difficulty reaching the ground on your stock seat, we will not be able to lower you. The Day-Long Saddle will raise you slightly and may not be the correct style seat for you. We can manufacture a Day-Long Sport Saddle for customers with this problem. It will not provide the same comfort as the suspension saddle, but will be a great improvement over the stock seat.

Ditto!!!! My order goes out tomorrow number 33. I'm getting the double seat vinyl & leather insert $680 & 20% off will make it $544 plus shipping. Like dltang said 17 more orders need to be in by Nov. 11 for group buy 20% off. I thought that Heather originally told me 12/4 on cut off date too, but what ever. I'm sure you guys will like them. I believe they are the number 1 seat for BMW riders. And these people (BMW) are generally fussy and known for Loooong distant riding. So comfort is essential.

Seat Count, Discount and special offer
Okay, I just got an Email from Heather at Russell, the seat count is now up to 34.
The discount is now up to 15% off regular prices-keep them coming everyone.
Last but not least. I just got a PM of an offer to use a stock seat from one of our forum members. You would pay to have his seat shipped to Russell and when you get your new seat you would ship your stock seat back to him in Florida. If there is any interest in that, let me know and I will get you connected with a PM.

No discount changes. They have different levels of discount depending on how many seats they get signed up for the group discount. They give 10% off if they get up to 30 or 35 seats, 15% off if they get up to 50 seats and 20% off if they get over 50 seats. We've just reached the level where we get 15% off guaranteed, instead of the 10% that we were looking at if they didn't get more orders.
