[QUOTE="rocketman0, post: 1171864, member: 86789"] I already read as much as I could here on the Russel Day Long seat and I'm pretty much set on ordering one. My questions are: - I'm 5'8 with 29" inseam so the stock FJR is already tall for me (especially when pushing the bike around.) Will the RDL make it worse? I searched and read the old posts and some said yes some said no. I use my FJR as daily commute and also long multi-day trips (500-600 miles days, not IBR trips like you guys :-) . - Russel's site said that the vinyl is "[B]All Vinyl:[/B] The most durable, weather resistant and generally carefree choice, and offers the best color match for most stock seat cover colors". Is that what your experience is? I really don't want leather if I don't have to, I have leather seats in my car and they are HOT in summer. Thank you all! mike PS: better yet, does anybody around Pasadena have a FJR with Russel seat that I can sit on to get a feel? [/QUOTE]
