[QUOTE="Ryan, post: 222721, member: 310"] 1. How long did it take start to finish? 2. Did they have a loaner seat to give you so you weren't stuck waiting all day? 3. Were 100% satisfied with the results? 4. Anything you'd do differently next time? 1. About 6-7 hours, including several short test rides and adjustments to accommodate my desires/suggestions. Seat height and width are critical to comfort, so they don't want to give you too much latitude with your suggestions, but they know a lot more about building a good seat than you do, and it pays to listen. 2. No, but that was for my other bike, some obscure German brand. I enjoyed hanging around the shop and watching them (through the window, no customers in work area) take my seat apart and rebuild it while gladly anwering all of my questions about the process. I didn't feel "stuck waiting" at all. 3. Yes. The seat was superb right from the start, and became perfect with a break-in of a couple thousand miles. It remains that way to this day, after two and a half years and 150K miles. The heavyweight suspension (extra springs) was a good choice for my 240 lbs. 4. No. I can't wait to ride my FJR over there (from the east coast) to have a Russell fitted! Best regards, Ryan [/QUOTE]
