I stand to be corrected but dont they kind of fit it to your ass and the way you sit. Dont see how a second hand one would do if it doesnt match. They look a great seat though would like one myself.

Yep. They require pictures, measurements, and a couple other dimensions. Then it's an educated guess. They do provide a couple re-works. Thats why I'm going to be there to sit my fat ass on things as the build goes along. I'm looking forward to it.

Oh, I dunno...

Depending on leather or vinyl -- probably $150.00 - $200.00 off list.

If you look below - Ishirock sold his for $425.00 shipped.

I am so close to being your dream date:


I have an RDL sitting on a shelf, low miles, it's been reworked once. I'm close to 300#, 6'5", 33" inseam. I've LOVED previous RDLs on previous bikes, but this one just doesn't feel right to me.


Russel asks for pics and specs from you when you order, but I get the sense that to a large degree they just build what they build. If you have a long inseam, they put it back further up higher. If short, the shave as much off OEM as possible and move it forward. Heavy, they use denser foam... suspension is an option.


For all the pics and diagrams and back and forth I had, I will be the outlier and say: I'm not happy with my RDL.

I bought a slightly used one from a friend and had it on my 2000 BMW RT. T'was a dream.

Was it a "fit" ?? ... his physique vs mine, ? Umm, nope

But it was close enough for the price I paid.

if your over (I think its 200lbs) they put springs under foam.They usually run a pretty good sale once a year.I saved 15%, more if you went to the show.
