If your 98 kilo's you must have heavy bones. You don't look much over 85.

So then . . .

He's probably not as trim as he was when he was 25 but I wouldn't call him overweight.

I have a Corbin fast gun and have put over 50k on this and love it.. (Have been called selfish) because of my solo rego
I also have just had another seat made to suit new luggage rack.
I took a piece of crap solo gel seat to a local guy who specialises in m/c seats and got a made to fit me one fabricated.
Along the lines of the Corbin he used high density foam.
Went back for a fine tune before he covered it.
Only put a few hindered k's on it and I can see this also is gunna be great when it it sorta wears in.
I guess the 3000 km round trip to Batemans bay will sort it out
So instead of pissing around with maybe this one or that one I suggest getting something made for YOU.

Did you get your seat made here in the Redlands?

I've just returned to this forum after an extended absence. I didn't realize it when I posted the response above, but I have posted a picture of the Russell seat on my first R3T in the photo album.

I am new and still and idiot when it comes to finding/searching for past posts. I couldn't find your post where you included the photo of your Russell seat. I am 6'4" and 240 and my but bone aches after 100 miles. The bike is new so I just getting used to it, but I think I need a new seat. Sounds like you are sold on Russell. I will get them a look over. If you still have the photo that would be great. Thanks.

There are some pictures of R3 seats on their web site:

Thanks for the link. I just spoke to Russell. Their ride-in, one day option sounds perfect. Except that they are booked until November and have 75 on their waiting list. I became 76. I will also consider the two weeks for the mail in option. As you might guess, having a new bike with no seat for 2 weeks doesn't sound too appealing.

I think I am sold on Russell though. Thanks for the heads up.

Can the Russell seat be had with the dual backrests like the Corbin Dual Tour?

If you can make the trip, having them fit the seat with you sitting on the bike would be ideal.
