Stock to Comfort to Russell

[bjt]

According to Russell it takes between 500 -1000 miles for break in. So I don't know how accurate one 80 mile ryde would be. But I'm anxious to get back in the saddle.

:dontknow: I don't recall any break in time on my Russell seat. It was comfortable from the first mile. :thumbup:

Lessee now, break in? Okay, it just keeps getting better, is that break in?
I've got around 10K on my Russell, only complaint is I didn't get it sooner.

Just got back from my 80 mile ryde (actually 79) It was great. The last time I was on the Comfort seat I only went about 40 miles before it started to get uncomfortable. This seat is so different. I also love the backrest. It was really comfortable from the start. I LIKE IT!

Could have waited for me so we could of had lunch -- LOL -- Glad you enjoyed it -- now we need to really put it to the test - 250 -300 miles :roflblack::roflblack:

This is the quote from Russell on the paperwork they sent.
"BREAK IN...Your Day-Long" Touring Saddle will require a short break-in-period usually 500 to 1000 miles." ......... etc.

Enjoy your Russel! I've had a number of Corbins and NONE of them felt good until after a few weeks of conforming to my butt. Never try someone else's Corbin unless it belongs to your identical twin!

I submitted my order form today for a Russell Day Long. I'm upgrading from the BRP Comfort seat. I'm looking forward to getting this new seat. I've sit on a few Corbins and while I have nothing against them. I decided I don't have a Corbin butt. I'll really get to try it out on my trip to Gatlinburg.

I plan on going all vinyl (passenger and driver). Any draw backs to all vinyl?

Thanks

What are you going to do with the Comfort? Interested in selling it?

Russell Seat

We have put about 3000 miles on our Russell with backrest, no breaking in, great from the get go, the backrest is worth every penny,no pressure on the tail bone thus your butt does not go numb,expensive but your comfort or lack of comfort is priceless.:2thumbs:

While attending a hockey game, I made the comment that these new seats seem smaller than last year. My smart :cus: brother said the seat isn't smaller, your BUTT got Bigger.:yikes:

Hey Capt John, enjoyed meeting you at SITS, maybe one day I'll make it to lower Al and take a ride. I'll be getting a Russel soon.

IMHO I believe leather is a better surface especially for the long haul. It's breathes better and therefore is cooler. You can always go with a leather top and vinyl sides.

That is what I did.
