Russell seat

[Jdsd1]

Anyone have experience or comments on Russell seats. They say they incorporate spring support, does it make a difference?

Trickie Dick has one on his RT. My husband has one on one of his Harley V-Rods.

One of the best seats on the market, as far as I am concerned.

I had one on my 08 and my first mod on my 2012 RT was a Russell. It is a great long distance seat. :thumbup:

I have a Russell on my 2011 and it is very comfortable for long rides. I'm not sure I will transfer it to the 2014 RT because I think I like the stock seat with a utopia backrest over the Russell.

Had one on my BMW. Great seat. In the winter they have a group buy, usually run by some group that gets you 10% off. nojoke Custom made to your weight, inseam. Inseam might not be a problem with the Spyder. :roflblack::roflblack: Tom :trike:

Russell RT seat spring support under thighs comfy on 400+ mile days with backrest

I have modified custom Russell seat with backrest on 2014 Spyder RT-S SE6. Previous was on 2013 RT-S; previous on 2011 RT (35,000 miles of daylong comfort)!!!
Enjoy.

Haven't been on one in years

but years ago their "Day Long" model was the absolute best. I just cannot speak to current products.

Got mine last December for the 12RT. Not a lot of miles on it yet but it has the makings of a real comfortable seat. :yes::yes: Once you hit 250 lbs. you need to add the suspension to the seat to support the additional weight.
