Russell Day Long (RDL), 2011 C14
« on: July 05, 2012, 01:58:08 PM »
  I was in the market for a replacement seat because I did not like the forward slope of the stock seat. I wanted a Russell Day Long (RDL) but no one in the San Diego area had one for me to "test sit" on one before I buy.  If you're like me, I do not like to throw out big money before I can see, feel and/or test out my future purchase. 

Based on favorable member comments and timing, I purchased a RDL from a forum member. The RDL is nice and very comfy.
That being said, if anyone in the So Cal area would like to try out my RDL, let me know.

Probably my next purchase when I can afford it.  I know most do not care for the looks but I love the affordability and power of the C14 but the comforts of a Goldwing.

I have an RDL that isn't my every day seat.  I have a Baldwin for every day, and an RDL for long trips.  When I look at the RDL with my eyes, I think it's ugly.  When I look at it with my butt after 300 miles, I think it looks like a slice of heaven.  :)

RDL seats are better when they make it for you, not someone else. I have them on all my bikes.
