Pretty good shape, once I applied restorer to the vinyl. Slight small cracking, but in good shape otherwise.

After:







$200 plus shipping from Virginia.

Nice seat!  I've had two of them, and can attest to the fact they are as close to a Laz-e-Boy you can get on your bike.   800+ mile days are a piece of cake with these seats.  Hard core Iron Butt horizon chasers need to jump on this great deal ASAP.

One caution: if you are vertically challenged <5'10" this seat might make putting your feet down flat a little challenging.

Jim:

You should "break the mold" and build a cafe with a RDL seat.

Hey this is a great looking seat! Any chance you know if it will fit on a '95 k75s low seat model?

Here's one person's experience fitting a standard seat to a low seat model. Installing the Russell will be similar.

Is it still available and how does it compare to the Corbin? This is what i'd rocked the last 7 years.
