• 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.

Russel Day Long Seat on Ryker

Has anyone got Russel Day Long Seat on their Ryker. I have comfort seat but my rear end screams after 40 minutes. I know there aren't whole lot of options as far as seat goes for the Ryker. Just wondering if anyone got RDL Seat.
 
I was just on the site yesterday, not for me, but for a Ryker buddy. I didn't see any Ryker shown. I have a RDL seat for my spyder. you might call or email them to see if will build a Ryker seat. you would have to send the seat in for them to change
 
While I have a RDL, I think the Ryker would benefit from a regular motorcycle solo saddle. HD police saddles are cheap on eBay. Comfortable and waterproof. Just an idea!

I have the HD police seat from my 2013 police electra glide. I wonder if I can fit that??? If that works it will solve my problem for sure.
 
A couple of bolts, some flat stock, a drill, and boom! Done!! Post up when done; or, call me if you get stuck. I love fabricating solutions!! Joe

HD Police seat did not work on the Ryker. If you remove the seat pan bike looks like ****. Maybe you have better luck then I do. If you can fabricate something I be happy to buy it from you.
 
Just a thought but you might experiment with moving the pegs front or back to change the pressure point. Even though I have long legs I fount that my hinny was happier with the pegs in a mid-range selection. just experiment; It is the cheapest option.

If you can bolt it up, at the angle that is most comfortable to you, covering the ugly is easy! Leather, vinyl or kydex. Make it work, then make it pretty!

Eventually someone will produce one more like the stock F3 which I barely know I'm sitting on. My Alaska sheepskin works to help in All seasons. I hope ultimate makes one by Spring?
 
My Russel Day Long is on order just waiting for production date. Can't wait

~~~how did your Ru$$ell-DayLong seat (for your Ryker) turn out? Apologies in advance if you have already posted. As an aside, I've ridden on several Russel saddles. First was one custom made for my 93' Honda ST1100 (in 2001). 2nd was a used custom dual for the same bike a few years later. 3rd was a new one made for a 2002 Honda Silverwing I bought used. All 3 were covered in leather, 2 of the 3 had back rests. I've thought about having one built for my 92' BMW R100GSPD. I've also been kicking around selling this GS and purchasing a Ryker
 
I didn`t like the lip on the back and its 2 inch higher now .. and waterproof (built over the comfort seat)
We ryde a lot ..(10.000 miles on mine)

I love my Russell seat. It's like having my living room sofa on the bike. I put about 800 miles on it and my ass doesn't complain anymore. This time I went with Vinyl instead of leather.
