Looking for one forsale... If i order it new theres a 4 month backlog..already..so if y'all have one or know someone who does...just give me a holler...:mrgreen:
 
You should reconsider buying a used Russell as they are made to fit you . That is why they ask for pictures in riding position / feet down , and your weight / measurements .

I have a RDL on my Hayabusa ,and also know a person who also has a RDL that he does not like . He purchased the bike with the seat so it was not set up for him .

Now they can adjust a existing seat , but it still puts you in the line of people .
I would call , and speak with Jay about that option . A airhawk gave me enough comfort till my seat was done last year in July . Zero complaints about their product / craftsmanship . Many 600 miles days , and 13 plus hours in the RDL seat .

Also consider leather over vinyl if you like to wear blue jeans as leather breathes = no monkey butt . Its a added $$$ option of 100 bucks usually , and more on a BIG seat . I ordered in leather and it makes me :rider:

I have tried the Airhawk..it sucked...couldnt find a happy medium with it amd it felt like i was sitting on rollers..did not like it at all...I am looking at a used RDL right now on CL...The person who is selling is similar physically to myself so the ergos will work...I have had experience with another used RDL on a different bike and it too was similar in ergos to me..it was wonderful..Last resort is to buy new...I have the RDL website so i know their process..The advantage of buying one used is that i can retain the original seat and there is minimal downtime waiting for it to arrive..and save some $$$ too...
Thankyou all for you comments :thumb:
