Good day all, about a month ago I made the decision to go with the Russell Day Long saddle, all leather, as my next upgrade to my 2014 R3R. Even though I don't get to spend anytime in the saddle until next spring, I'll tell you this, this saddle is the money! As soon as I sat down I could feel a massive difference from stock.
I purchased the driver seat backrest which takes aproximatly 5 seconds to install and remove and it's completely adjustable. It folds down onto the drivers seat and after you swing your leg over you simply lift it up into position. I love this thing! I also had them add the pouch to the back of the seat of which I have to say is quite large, I was suprised at the size of the backrest and the pouch. I also paid to have the stock pillion backrest recovered. The pillion seat was also custom fitted to my wife.
Can't wait till spring!
Here a couple pics of the i boxing and installed.
Cheers
My wife and I live in Central California and are riding up to Russell this Thursday. Hope the weather holds. After you have had some time with the seat....would you do it again? Any suggestions? Would you have done anything different?
Thanks for all the pictures. Of course I want the best for my bike...but need to get my arms around paying for the best!
Thanks for any tips you can provide.

I have now put a complete season in this saddle, around 18000km. I love this seat, I love the backrest and the pouch. I would not have done anything different and I would spend the money again. Not cheap by any means and some don't like the look, I have received nothing but compliments.Thanks for all the pictures. Of course I want the best for my bike...but need to get my arms around paying for the best!
Thanks for any tips you can provide.
