Default Russell Day-Long seats

Anyone here have any experience with the Russell Day-Long seats, especially on the baggers? While the stock seat on my Ultra seems fine right now, my next trip (~ 2K miles in a week) will probably tell me a lot. While I have read lots of favorable comments here about Corbin seats, I was wondering if anyone has other experiences to share. Found a brand spankin new Corbin on e-Bay for around 400 bucks; thats a lot less than the $650 list price.

Jim,

I made almost 2,000 in a week on the Laughlin trip, and the Corbin was great.

Regards,

Bill

Jim, I have the Harley Road Zeppelin.
I truly love it[8D][8D]

Jim, try this link.

Another[8D]

I'm used to the adjustable Air Zeppelin seat and backrest I've equipped for the Harley. This is an iron-butt seat and is the only one I have found to date to be comfortable enough to complete a 1000-mile ride in one day.
More.

Mike and Mark are both right. The Corbin is a great seat if you are going to ride normal. Even your next trip would be considered normal. If you are going to do some serious riding (Iron Butt) then the Zep seat is the way to go.

The Russell day-long saddle is absolutely, without a doubt, the most comfortable motorcycle seat I have ever owned. I don't have one on my RK, but I had one on my 2002 BMW R1150RT. I could ride all day, (hence the name day-long), with no discomfort whatsoever. I've owned Corbin and Mustang seats also. I currently have a sundowner on the RK, but I may upgrade to another Russell. The only downside to the Russell is the price. They are quite expensive.

Regards,
Rick
