[Yes sir, that is my seat for sure.]

What was the size (height) and weight for the original owner of the seat?  They are custom made.  Since you bought a Sargent low seat, I am assuming that the Russell was too high for you.  How does it compare to a stock seat in how high the rider sits.

Thanks.

[Hi Dave, the original owner was 5' 9" and 190.  I am 5' 9" and 185, so I thought I would like the seat.  I love the seat, however, I didn't like how I was leaned over more than a lower seat would have you sit.  If you can imagine, a higher seat will lean you over further and then put more pressure on your wrists.  Now, I could have bought the Heli bar Horizon ST bars, but I didn't want to spend $695 plus shipping and tax right now.  Maybe another day...I can tell you that the Russell Day long coupled with the Heli bar Horizon ST bars is a popular fit from what I've read on forums.  I just wasn't ready to commit to another expense right now.  I would say the height of the Russell is higher than the stock, by a bit.  I don't have reference with a stock seat to give you exact numbers.  Lastly, the Russell is a very comfortable seat.  I did a few 200+ rides and didn't feel one bit of pain in my rear. 

I hopes this helps.

Thanks for looking,
Buzz]

Hi guys.... I'm the original owner of this seat.  Sorry it didn't work for you either Buzz.  He's exactly right on the specs Russell used.  Build date was just in May and I got it back in early June and road it twice.  Between us two, this seat doesn't even have the required break-in miles.  We're the same height, but Buzz is built differently, has much longer legs.  I'm a 31" inseam and was on the end of my toenails at standstill.  Reach to the bars was OK for me.... but one ride stuck in stop and go traffic on I-70 for over an hr really was the limit for me. 

This seat IS ridiculously comfortable just as Buzz states.  I would bet it adds 2.5" to the height over stock, and with 31" inseam on a good day, I would need some Herman Munster shoes to make it work.

I think the price is great for someone this seat fits.  It was all-in, including shipping my stock seat and the Russell back to my doorstep..... over $600.

I've bought the 2015 Kawi touring seat and like it a lot so far.  Better than my Sargent.... which I still have for sale on ebay....

Hi Buzz

Would you be willing to ship it to the UK?
