testrider Posted August 23, 2006 Share Posted August 23, 2006 Does anybody have Russell seat? It looks extremely comfortable for a long ride: http://www.day-long.com/new_pages/honda.html# (and click on "CBR1100xx") -mike- PS: I had the Corbin G&L and sold it as I didn't like it: the nose of the seat is too high that I had to sit way far back . The leather seat cover was too slippery and it was **HEAVY** Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Iceman_40 Posted August 23, 2006 Share Posted August 23, 2006 I was considering getting one myself when I save up the $$$. I'm just not sure if I'll be able to reach the ground with it on... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Byrdman Posted August 23, 2006 Share Posted August 23, 2006 I've heard that they're comfy but they are soooo ugly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you can get past the way they look go for it. :icon_hand: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shovelstrokeed Posted August 23, 2006 Share Posted August 23, 2006 I really much prefer the contour of the stock seat. It allows much more freedom of movement when cornering and provides a means of sliding forward or back to slightly change the angle of knees on long days in the saddle. The stock foam leaves a bit to be desired after about 10 hours but I have discussed that with Sargent and they say they have a much better quality foam they can put in there. I have also considered having a gel pad inserted under the stock cover. At 210 lbs with a boney ass, I do need a bit of help. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The leather seat cover was too slippery and it was **HEAVY** I have the one that's in the picture. Yes, it's extremely comfortable and I've used Russell seats on all of my bikes over the past 10 years or so. When I ordered that seat, I was heavier than I am now and it was built with the heavy-duty spring but it's still VERY comfortable. Since it's also a higher than the stock seat, I get an inch or more increase in leg room and to compensate, I installed VFR bars on top of GenMar risers. It's funny that I'm currently using a Corbin G&L which I originally tried to make things more comfortable for my wife, and ended up liking it and leaving it on the bike.
